Is The Salvation Army the only agency defunded by the United Way?
No. The size of The Salvation Army’s funding elimination is probably the largest (by virtue of previous allocation size), but other organizations have also been defunded, including Boys and Girls Clubs of America, the YMCA, Girl Scouts, Settlement Music School, Urban League, Germantown Settlement, Big Brothers Big Sisters, and others. Approximately 33 organizations, including some, like The Salvation Army, who helped to establish the original United Way and had been partners for decades, were defunded.
