I used to give to some charities when I was younger and all it did was generate more and more phone calls from them. Special Olympics asked for a certain amount when you donated, not just what you could afford. The last straw was when after you were not giving anymore, they actually put on some of the kids to try and make you feel more guilty. I do not donate to anybody anymore.

my neighbor died a couple years ago of cancer and I donated 100 bucks to MD Anderson in his name and they harass me all the time for more money:facepalm: I haven't given them another dime

I continue to donate, but do so on my terms.

I never understood gifts for donations. Wouldn't the donation go farther if you didn't have to buy gifts to give people?

Now I know some of the gifts are available through corporate sponsors or donations themselves, but you could ask the same thing about those.
