The United Way has a good extortion racket going on. Even if the local UW chapter cuts its ties to the Boy Scouts, I believe people can still donate to the Scouts through the UW by declaring the Scouts as the beneficiary. However, the UW would take a significant chuck of the donation to cover "administrative fees" for an outside group.

I 'spose it makes it easier in keeping your tax write offs organizied. There's probably benefits that I'm unaware of... Still, I have always given directly to my organizations of choice.
