For years I have been giving to quite a few charities, but recently have cut back considerably. Instead of quarterly, I only donate now once or twice a year. There is one particular charity that has always been high on my list. When I received the last couple of requests, they have shown the amount of my donations yearly from 2010 thru 2013. Of course, they have decreased. I still made a donation, but this ticked me off.

Take care,
Pat

We pick our charities carefully and none of them are the big name ones. We honestly have never heard from other charities so I believe the ones we support when they tell us they don't sell or lend the donors list. I think the 'lend' one might be an out for some. People tend to ask if they sell the list but, some of them lend instead.
