About SEFA
What SEFA Is?
The State Employees Federated Appeal, more commonly known as SEFA, is the single campaign supported by labor and management in which state
employees can contribute to qualified voluntary, nonprofit, charitable organizations, rendering services to human health, welfare, and recreational
programs. The appeal was initiated in 1976 to consolidate frequently occurring solicitations of state employees by various charitable organizations. One
of the major benefits of the SEFA campaign is the payroll-deduction plan. This plan allows for the safe, convenient, and efficient collection of employee
contributions.
What SEFA Does?
The SEFA campaign of the Niagara Frontier is governed by a committee of volunteers, and the majority of these are state employees. You will note in
the SEFA directory of participating agencies that one representative from the university is a member of this committee. The United Way of Buffalo and
Erie County provides technical administration and conducts the campaign on the Niagara Frontier under the direction of the SEFA committee and in
accordance with rules issued by the Office of General Services. The SEFA Committee determines the eligibility of organizations to receive SEFA funds
and how undesignated SEFA contributions will be distributed.
