Boy Scouts of ¾«¶«Ó°Òµ, National Capital Area Council (NCAC) is pleased to announce their new partnership with Community First – ¾«¶«Ó°Òµ’s Charities of Greater Washington, D.C. Ìý¾«¶«Ó°Òµ’s Charities’ local federation, Community 1st, addresses a diverse range of social concerns and needs in the greater D.C. area and supports some of the community’s most respected charities, including Catholic Charities, Ronald McDonald House Charities, Make-A-Wish and Habitat for Humanity. Ìý

Following a board vote in August 2013, UWNCA decided to sever ties with the Boy Scouts of ¾«¶«Ó°Òµ, National Capital Area Council. ÌýWhile UWNCA no longer supports NCAC, many other United Way partners continue to support great Scouting programs in their communities. To see a list of local federations who support NCAC, visitÌý.

What’s Different?

UWNCA has removed NCAC from their partner agency listing for all workplace giving campaigns in both the private and public sectors, including the Combined Federal Campaign of the National Capital Area (CFC) and employee giving campaigns at local businesses such as Dominion, Freddie Mac and ExxonMobil. ÌýIt is important to note that donors can still write-in NCAC’s name (Boy Scouts of ¾«¶«Ó°Òµ, National Capital Area Council) and NCAC will receive those donations. ÌýThe real difference is that NCACÌýis no longer listed as a partner agency.

What Can You Do?

¾«¶«Ó°Òµ’s Charities also holds many local giving campaigns in the workplace throughout the greater DC area. ÌýIf you have a company that is interested in learning more about ¾«¶«Ó°Òµ’s Charities and Community First, please direct them to Michelle Lynch atWorkplaceGiving@Scouting.orgWorkplaceGiving@Scouting.org. And remember: if you don’t see NCACÌýlisted in your workplace giving campaign, just write them in as ‘Boy Scouts of ¾«¶«Ó°Òµ, National Capital Area Council’.
