Neither gets a penny from me. Same with the Salvation Army, if they’re on that list.
I parted ways with United Way a *long* time ago, it’s a leftist con. The Red Cross behavior in Haiti and now in Gaza (and in between) demonstrates its true self.
I believe the Salvation Army is in bed with the United Way
That’s nice of them to post a list of who to not donate to.
We have a policy that we support only organizations that are either through our local church , or the church itself in it’s outreach efforts.
Very disappointing. Wife and I have been monthly donors to St Judes, but will now have to reasses. Glad to see Wounded Warriors is green.
Please provide proof of this connection. Thank you.

Once upon a time that would have been inconceivable.

I’ve known for years to not give either of them a dime.
As far as the Salvation Army is concerned their little Manifesto a couple years ago saying that we should all be shamed for being white people did it for me. Along with my discovery that they no longer used the money that was donated in the area where it was donated
Catholic Charities should be added to that list. They’re deliberate subverting federal law by aiding and abetting the horde of “asylum seekers” crossing our border since 2021. They used to be the only charity I supported too.
Wounded Warrior has its own issues...
I dropped Catholic Charities when they started signing up the homeless for ObamaDon’tCare.
Solidified that stand when the local branch became the de fact City Homeless Housing Office, receiving funds to build “no barrier” housing. It’s turned into a disaster.
Ditto with Annual Catholic Appeal and their illegal-alien invasion support operation.
Damned if I give any of them any more after they suck up at the federal taxpayer trough. Not taxing myself twice for entities that harm this country.

I dont know on the national level what the involvement is, but I am a bell ringer every season and know that money stays in the community. In my small town they are there for every emergency (fire, death etc.). They also provide a food pantry and other emergency services.
Dont know where you live but I know the money donated in my community stays there. And there is a balance sheet of how that money was used. Not sure about donations to the national branch. Not saying SA is the best but they provide alot of emergency services (food, shelter, etc)
Dont know about WW but have you seen Tunnel2Tower. The buying of hotels and converting to housing for homeless vets blew me away. What a cool idea!! And why didnt anyone think of that sooner? Definitely a project I could donate to.
That is disgusting. We stopped donating to them when they became pro-LGBTQ+ and for the guilt tripping for not embracing illegals.
They USED to be a church, but let evil in, probably in the leadership.
I've been anti-Catholic ever since I found out about them sending their pedophile priests to Alaska, where they raped their way across the Alaska Native villages in our state. So they've been on my don't donate/don't patronize list for decades now. Their importation of unvetted Afghan "refugees" to Alaska is just the latest transgression that absolutely disgusts me about that outfit.
Being honest, I can’t recall where I read that about donations not staying local. I do recall that I felt the source was good at the time. This was several years ago, before the ScamDemic.
But I did download a copy of their white guilt “manifesto” guide for their people. Lost it when I changed computers. That crap I can certainly attest to.
