Dear Sir or Madam:

I am writing to you regarding your company's financial support of the Boy Scouts of America. While I commend you for generously supporting nonprofit organizations, your support of the BSA disappoints me.

The Boy Scouts' blatant discrimination against gay youth and adults, as well as atheists, proliferates hate and intolerance; two things which need no financial assistance to thrive. The BSA discriminates against many of <Company Name>'s own employees, and their children. Their policies also hurt your customers. Therefore, I ask <Company Name> to take the moral
high ground and join Levi Strauss and Company, J.P. Morgan, American Airlines, Wells Fargo, Medtronic, and the many other corporate leaders supporting equality for all.

I ask your company to discontinue its funding of all organizations that discriminate on the basis of age, political affiliation, race, ethnicity, gender, disability, sexual orientation or religious beliefs (including the BSA).

I hope <Company Name> shares my belief that discrimination, in any form, is unacceptable.

Thank you for your time and consideration in this matter.

Sincerely,



<Your Name Here>
