ATLANTA — The philanthropic arm of shipping giant UPS said it will no longer give money to the Boy Scouts of America as long as the group discriminates against gays, the second major corporation to recently strip funding from the scouts.

The UPS Foundation made the change Thursday after an online petition protesting its annual grants to the Boy Scouts attracted more than 80,000 signatures. UPS, based in Atlanta, follows computer chip maker Intel in withdrawing corporate support for the Boy Scouts.

The UPS Foundation gave more than $85,000 to the Boy Scouts in 2011, according to its federal tax return.

Federal tax returns for 2011 for Intel, the world’s largest chip maker, were not immediately available. Some media reported the Calif.-based company gave hundreds of thousands of dollars over the years.

UPS spokeswoman Kristen Petrella said grant applicants will have to adhere to the same standards UPS does by not discriminating against anyone based on race, religion, disability or sexual orientation.

The UPS Foundation distributed $45.3 million in grants last year. Petrella said she was not aware of any other grant recipients who would be affected by the new policy.

Petrella said the company had been concerned about discrimination by the Boy Scouts before the petition drive.
