Delaware State Employees Launch Charitable Campaign as Independent Resources Inc. Gains Approval

State employees across Delaware are currently participating in the annual giving drive that runs through October 31, providing a direct avenue for payroll deductions and single contributions toward health and human welfare organizations. Among the approved participants for the effort is Independent Resources Inc., a nonprofit Center for Independent Living dedicated to supporting individuals with disabilities in achieving and maintaining autonomous lifestyles.

According to Independent Resources Inc., the organization operates with a staff, leadership team, and board of directors composed of more than fifty percent individuals with disabilities. This lived experience shapes the direct services, classes, support groups, and community resources coordinated through their offices.

Executive Order 22 and the SECC Guidelines

Participation in the initiative is governed by the framework established under Governor Carney’s Executive Order 22. The State Employees’ Charitable Campaign (SECC) Steering Committee evaluated the nonprofit against specific state criteria to confirm its eligibility for the multi-week fundraising drive.

State agency chairs and captains previously gathered on Wednesday, July 23, 2024, for an official SECC kickoff event hosted by the State of Delaware to prepare for the administrative rollout. The campaign officially launched on September 1 and concludes its current collection window on October 31. State workers wishing to review campaign details, verify participating agencies, or set up contributions can access guidance directly through the SECC website. Residents seeking assistance or program registration details through Independent Resources Inc. can reach out to their staff directly.
