 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.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".
