Since the early 1990's, United Way chapters across the country have scrutinized its funding of BSA local councils and their own nondiscrimination policies. According to United Way of America, over seventy
local affiliates from California to Connecticut have stopped funding local BSA councils, because of their discriminatory practices. Nationwide, BSA received nearly $84 million in 1996 from 1,400 United Way organizations.
