The Walt Disney Company (No. 39 in the Fair360, formerly DiversityInc Top 50) will end all funding of the Boy Scouts of America because of the organization’s ban on gay scout leaders.
The halting of donations, which will begin in 2015, only affects local Boy Scouts troops because Disney does not fund the national parent organization. Instead, it provides money directly to the individual troops as part of an incentive program that rewards volunteering hours by Disney employees.
