Not only in Alaska. The company I work for isn't real hard core about United Way, but we are a big company and United Way was making a hard pitch not to make targeted donations this year (I forget the official term for it). Many people are making donations but forbidding the donation be spent on Planned Parenthood and other non-family friendly causes. It's killing them.
Excuse me, but there is no way to make a "targeted" donation. If people in your company are falling for that, lead me to your purchasing agent. I have some great products to sell to your company.
Whatever an organization gets in for other so called targeted donations frees up money from the rest of the budget for the objectionable activities. The only way to hurt a charity you do not agree with is deny it any funds for any purpose until it changes its objectionable ways.
Virginia, under the Democrat Mark Warner, has renamed the United Way "The Commonwealth Campaign" so all stste employees get delivered notices to contribute to "State causes".
Why do Democrats find it so easy to lie, obscure, spin and obfuscate?
