Aid United Givers Formed To Consolidate Health Charities
AID United Givers, formed in Los Angeles in 1951, pools donor funds to support health and welfare groups. Participating Long Beach charities include the American Cancer Society Arthritis Foundation Braille Institute United Way groups John Tracy Clinic and YMCA. Employees under ASD contribute about half a percent of each paycheck via payroll deductions, with a committee allocating year end gifts while individuals may direct contributions to chosen charities. The scheme aims to shift giving from higher per-clip asks to steady weekly deductions, though individuals may opt to fund their preferred causes.
