No More Donations for Anti-Gay Boy Scouts from Intel

Intel will end support for Oregon Boy Scouts over Scouts' policy on gays

Intel will end support for Oregon Boy Scouts over Scouts’ policy on gays

Boy Scouts in Oregon have few benefactors more generous than Intel, which has awarded hundreds of thousands of dollars to Boy Scout troops and Cub Scout packs over the past few years.

It’s not that Intel has a particular affinity for Scouting; its employees do. By volunteering as scoutmasters and in other roles, they trigger a $10 corporate donation for each hour spent helping a troop.

And with close to 17,000 employees in the state, those hours — and dollars — really add up. In 2010 alone they came to $180,000, according to the Intel Foundation’s most recent tax filings.

The donations, though, are now drying up.

A “lightning rod for controversy” indeed.
