IaUW members are in the final year of this grant program supporting community initiatives. Interim reports of projects and activities are available through www.iauw.org.
IaUW joins a statewide group made up of dozens of local and state organizations that are working together to create the 211 information & referral system in Indiana. Through it, any Hoosier can dial "211" and get answers to questions about human services across the state.
The Network is a partnership of four United Ways and the United Way of Central Indiana's Nonprofit Training Center. They work as a team with IaUW to meet Indiana United Ways/Funds and other nonprofit organizations' training and development needs. By partnering with organizations such as Ivy Tech, National Center for Nonprofit Boards, Indiana University Center on Philanthropy, and Indiana Grantmakers Alliance, the Network is able to increase access to valuable speakers, programs and events.
United Ways work together to promote public policies that strengthen charitable giving; volunteering; and human service planning, coordination, and funding. IaUW plays a key role in statewide partnerships, monitors legislation and government action, and publishes a bi-weekly newsletter, Capitol Steps, to alert its members about current events and trends.

The State Employees’ Community Campaign (SECC) is an annual workplace fundraising campaign by and for Indiana state employees. Through the 2005 SECC, more than 8,700 state employees pledged in excess of $1,202,000, making 13,048 designated contributions to 1,367 different charitable organizations.
IaUW staff provide advice and counsel to the SECC leadership, assist in the training of campaign key-workers, assist in the production of campaign materials, process campaign pledges, prepare campaign reports, receive and account for all moneys raised, and prepare distribution checks to the charitable organizations to which state employees contribute.
State employees may contribute to any exempt nonprofit organization that has a 501(c)3 ruling from the US Internal Revenue Service. That is the only requirement for a charity to receive employee contributions through the SECC. All contributions through the SECC are 100% donor designated. Donors have full responsibility for determining the worthiness of the charities to which they choose to contribute.
The 2006 SECC goal is $1,200,000. The 2006 SECC kicked-off on September 25, 2006 and for the first time is being conducted totally on-line using SECC e-Pledge. Results for the 2006 SECC will be available in early 2007. For more information, please visit http://www.insecc.org, the official SECC Web site that is maintained by IaUW.
