See Rich Leonardi's post.
Is it just me or does it seem like you need a detective agency to figure out if your donation goes from your local United Way to Planned Un-Parenthood? A listing of the 77 agencies of United Way. No listing of PP.
But meanwhile, over at Planned Parenthood's Central Ohio site:
Did you know that Planned Parenthood of Central Ohio is one of the largest recipients of United Way donor designation dollars in Franklin County?I did not. So, is this a case where you can still designate P.P. but if you just give to the general fund none of your dollars go towards it?
Update: This looks reassuring.
Update 2: Devious, that ol' United Way. There are so many good charities in that basket but Gregg the Obscure found an obscure one - www.firstlink.org - which funnels money to the Columbus Health Dep't which in turn gives to PP. What I couldn't understand was how PP could've withstood the tremendous funding cut that UW would've represented (PP used to be a main agency in United Way). Looks like they still get funding, if roundabout.
