1991 – today – More than 70 local United Way (UW) chapters (out of ~1,400 total) across the land have defunded BSA local councils within their boundaries. Most councils (~294 total in 2013 – the number is soft because some council consolidations are still occurring) have several local UW chapters within their boundaries. The UW chapters claimed that their local charters prevented them from distributing funds to non-profit organizations which discriminated. Several corporations during the 1990s announced they would discontinue donations to BSA. They included CVS, Levi-Strauss, SeaFirst Bank, and Wells Fargo. Anecdotal reports from the field indicated that local council professionals were encountering harsh business reactions when they attempted outreach for financial support. The councils most affected were primarily located on the west coast, upper mid-west, and east coast/northeast. In JUL 2003, the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a decision by a U.S. District Judge that excluded the BSA from an annual (state government) workplace charitable campaign (United Way) run by the state of CT because of BSA's exclusive membership policy. In MAR 2004, the SCOTUS declined to review the case. Currently on average, UW chapter contributions account for ~ 30% of local councils’ operating budgets.
*United Way* is not united at all it is the Divided Way. They have chosen their lot. Let them *discriminate* against God and let us *discriminate* against United Way by not giving one penney to their foul organization. Where I worked before, all the employees were shaken down to make donations to the United Way. They wanted everyone to give something even a small amount so that they could have a 100% donor compliance. I guess it was supposed to show civic pride or something.
