Group claims AID United Way at war
A statewide citizens group accuses Los Angeles County’s two major charities AID and United Way of waging a charity war that hurts donors and the needy. The Concerned Citizens for Charity, based in San Francisco, calls the clash the worst thing to happen to charity in Los Angeles. It launched a full page ad and a news conference urging an end to the dispute and urging United Way to stop rejecting AID gifts. The CIC portrays United Way as expanding at AID’s expense and says AID previously passed undesignated gifts to United Way to benefit its member charities. It cites United Way’s refusal to act as middleman and claims United Way threatens charities with loss of funding if they take more AID contributions.
