America's Charities
America's Charities is a membership-based federation of approximately 180 charities participating in workplace giving campaign in the United States administered through the federal government, state and local government, and private sector corporations. It is based in Chantilly, Virginia.
Historically, most workplace giving campaigns in the United States were managed by a different group of charitable federations which shared the United Way name.
Since 1980, America's Charities has represented such charities as Make-A-Wish Foundation® of America, NAACP Special Contributions Fund, Ronald McDonald House Charities®, and The Humane Society of the United States in workplace giving campaigns.
In 2004, the United Way of the National Capital Area suspended America's Charities from that fall's United Way campaign, stating that America's Charities was "competing with the United Way". [1]
