The first Community Chest was founded in 1913 in Cleveland, Ohio,[3] after the example of the Jewish Federation in Cleveland—which served as an exemplary model for "federated giving".
In May 2009, United Way of America and United Way International were integrated as one global entity, United Way Worldwide
After the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, the United Way of Western Connecticut was criticized by some victims' family members for a lack of transparency in fundraising. ..
Scientific Charity Movement https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientifi ... y_MovementThe Charity Organization Societies were founded in England in 1869 following the 'Goschen Minute' .. Charity Organization Societies were made up of charitable groups that used scientific philanthropy to help poor, distressed or deviant persons. The Societies considered themselves more than just alms givers. Their ultimate goal was to restore as much self-sufficiency and responsibility as an individual could manage....The COS was resented by the poor for its harshness, and its acronym was rendered by critics as "Cringe or Starve".
The Charity Organization Society can be compared to the settlement house movement which emphasized social reform rather than personal problems as the proper focus of charity.... The Charity Organisation Society was renamed Family Welfare Association in 1946 and still operates today as Family Action, a registered family support charity.
One of the most powerful branches of United Way America is from King County with Seattle as its capital. This branch is deeply connected with William Gates Sr. and the Seattle movers and shakers and Planned Parenthood .... See: Bill Gates Sr. was behind the purchase of Starbucks. Story leads to Castle Rock WA and an old CIA case..The Scientific Charity Movement was a movement that arose in the early 1870s in the United States to stop poverty. It sought to move the role of supporting the impoverished away from government and religious organizations and into the hands of Charity Organization Societies (COS). These Societies claimed the altruistic goals of lifting the poor out of poverty through the means of education and employment, and did make some strides to help young children involved in immoral underaged labor practices. However when it came to the COS's treatment of the "defective class" as they were labeled (insane, feeble-minded, blind, crippled, maimed, deaf and dumb, epileptic, criminal types, prostitutes, drug addicts, and alcoholics), the Scientific Charity Movement's other goals based in the popular post civil war social scientific theories of eugenics and social Darwinism came to light. Many of these "defective classes" were moved from the streets and into insane asylums where they were often experimented on by scientists of the time.
The Invention of Casework
The idea and procedure of impoverished family “cases” and “casework” was established under the Scientific Charity Movement. Using the ideas of eugenics and the new technique of in-depth investigation and interviews as a means of social control, caseworkers were tasked with sorting through and categorizing impoverished people into two separate classes.
In July 2016, Jeff Kaufman wrote a blog post comparing elements of the Scientific Charity Movement to those of effective altruism, a more recent movement that also applies a scientific mindset to charity.
NOTE: Effective altruism has its modern roots in transhumanism and the scientists that Jeffrey Epstein was funding.

In the voat post connecting Sandy Hook and United Way, a comment highlighting the links of UW with the UN and the Sustainable Development Goals: Remember Sandy Hook, Newtown? Connections with NXIVM, Cerberus/Dyncorp, the Lucis Trust, and United Nations Agenda 21. Yup, looks like they're all connected... https://searchvoat.co/v/pizzagate/2555572/12825949The movement today is generally seen as having failed. The overhead in evaluating applicants is enormous, people don't like "friendly visitors" coming into their houses to investigate them, and the whole idea of deciding who is deserving has become distasteful. Plus their support of eugenics...
With their emphasis on applying science and reason to charity they sound a lot like today's effective altruists, but their beliefs about what we should do are vastly different. Scientific charity (SC) tried to prioritize based on deservingness, while effective altruism (EA) tries to prioritize based on who will be helped more. These aren't completely disconnected: in the SC view helping an undeserving person would just encourage them to be less responsible, so they were kind of prioritizing based on how much they thought they could help people.
