In its nearly 40 years, America's Charities has raised more than $700 million for more than 20,000 nonprofits addressing causes including education, human rights, hunger, poverty, research, animal welfare, veteran assistance, disaster relief, and health services. It is based in Chantilly, Virginia. BackgroundHistorically, most workplace giving campaigns in the United States were managed by a different group of charitable federations under the United Way name. Since 1980, America's Charities has represented such charities as Make-A-Wish Foundation of America, Give Kids The World Village, NAACP Special Contributions Fund, Ronald McDonald House Charities, and The Humane Society of the United States in workplace giving campaigns. In 2002, after a scandal at United Way of the National Capital Area (Washington, D.C.), America's Charities was selected by numerous major employers to help them administer their workplace giving campaigns. These employers included Lockheed Martin, ExxonMobil, AARP, National Geographic and some 15 others. By 2008, America's Charities was distributing more than $8 million annually from employee donors in the Washington, D.C., area to hundreds of local and national charities. 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 had "violated the terms of agreement".[2] By 2008, America's Charities was raising more than $34 million for its members and over 5,000 other charities in the U.S. from workplace giving campaigns. America's Charities offered clients a state-of-the art web-based system for employer use in conducting workplace campaigns. This system, Pledge1st, was used by leading employers such as Lockheed Martin, AARP, the City of Orlando, and Amazon. Pledge1st was phased out beginning in 2015. Today, America's Charities partners with various technology providers to offer employers a suite of workplace giving tools. See also
