The Salvation Army - a Christian organization - and the United Way - a godless liberal organization - really have no commonality of purpose in their missions so it’s fitting that this association of light and darkness should end.

I refuse to support The United Way, not even if the money (or some likely small percentage of it) is earmarked for The Salvation Army. I give directly to the SA. I know first hand of the work they do.
The United Way, in the past has been a strong supporter of groups such as Planned Parenthood.
They are both losers.
Good. The Salvation Army can do so much better than the United Way anyway.
I’d give to the Salvation Army any day over United Way.
Targeting contributions to a specific organization does not mean the organization gets more funding. In actuality, they get less. United Way has a budget for the amount each organization gets. When someone targets (earmarks) a contribution, the budget for that organization is reduced by the targeted amount so the organization gets the amount in the original budget. The kicker is because a portion of the funds are targeted, the organization has to send out thank you notes, which is an expense. The only way an organization will get more than the United Way budget, is for enough donors to target their funds to the organization such that the total exceeds the budgeted amount.
I drove United Way away from our office 20 years ago.
I STOPPED trusting united way after their handling of money donated during the 911 catastrophe.
United Way runs an extortion racket. They get management to lean on workers to give a ‘suggested’ contribution.
I haven’t supported UW since I read of a low level teller at an S&L in Maryland getting sacked for refusing to pay up. That would probably have been back in the 70s, perhaps a little later.
I’ve only worked at one company that participated in the shakedown. If you didn’t want to contribute, you had to fill out a form and turn it in to a designated senior manager. I knew it was a career limiting move when I did so.
If they had any integrity, they’d run it like the CFC.
Some United Ways support homosexuality. Same thing.
I’m glad the SA is breaking with United Way. SA shouldn’t have anything to do with an outfit that funds abortions.
The United Way has always been corrupt...very high pay for the bigwigs at the expense of the charities.
The UN is the big government in the sky worshiped by many globalists in our midst and both parties and many corporations.
Some day they hope the UN will just be able to dip directly into our treasury and take what they want. The uppity Red Cross will be nothing...easily crushed by the UN gods with a global sized appitite for corruption.
They mask their true objectives by offering a myriad of choices that you can designate your donations go to but in the end, there was no guarantee that those designations actually received your donation.
United Way does NOTHING.
Salvation Army SAVED MY ASS.
