Another week of the 2026 State Combined Campaign is in the books!
As we move through the campaign, it’s easy to focus on goals, pledge totals, and participation numbers. But behind every dollar pledged is something much more important: an individual, family, or community impacted by the work of our charity partners.
This week’s Resource of the Week is all about helping employees make that connection.
Resource of the Week: Impact Stories
Why does the State Combined Campaign matter? Sometimes, the best people to answer that question are the organizations and the people that they serve.
Our Impact Videos page features stories from several SCC charity partners that show how donor dollars translate into real work happening in communities across Alabama and beyond.
While this isn’t a comprehensive library of every organization participating in the campaign, these videos offer a glimpse into the kind of impact SCC donors help make possible every day.
This week, I encourage you to go beyond simply asking employees to give. Help them understand why their gift matters. And don’t be afraid to make it personal!
Choose an impact video to share in your next department email or staff meeting. Or choose a participating charity that’s close to your own heart and tell your coworkers why. Maybe you’ve seen its work firsthand, its mission has impacted someone you know, or you simply believe deeply in the cause it serves.
As a coordinator, your personal connection can help employees see SCC as more than another workplace campaign. Your enthusiasm will help others find the cause that matters to them, too.
With hundreds of participating organizations, there’s no single reason to give, and that’s one of the strengths of the State Combined Campaign. Whether an employee cares about children, animals, veterans, hunger, health, education, disaster relief, or another cause, there’s an opportunity to turn that passion into impact.
A pledge isn’t just a number toward our $785,000 goal. It’s a donor choosing to make a difference through a cause that means something to them.
Help employees see the impact behind the ask; which will help them find their own reason to give.
That’s what Giving Today, Changing Tomorrow is all about.

Congratulations to the departments below for reaching their goals—and thank you to the coordinators continuing to champion the campaign within their agencies!
As we head into another week, keep telling the story behind the campaign. Share an impact video, tell your coworkers why you give, highlight a charity you care about, and invite employees to discover the cause that speaks to them.
