I find that so annoying. Like, sure, I don't mind occasional calls and mailings. I get it. Even regular ones. I already give to you. You do good work. But constant calls, daily mailings, and pressure in the calls like that? You're just lucky that I care enough about the people/animals you are helping that you're obnoxiousness isn't enough to make me give in to my instincts to stop giving and to send you a strongly worded letter telling you exactly why.

My mum was being bothered by the Fred Hollows Foundation so often that she told them if they called her again she'd stop giving them any money at all. They stopped :)

I haven't reached that point. Been sorely tempted, particularly with one that I also applied for a job for and who told me I was going on to the next level of interview, only to tell me when I showed up for the second interview the job was already filled. So they can send me a ton of mailings and call me by phone, but they can't bother to call me to tell me they've filled a job? But they're the biggest nonprofit in this part of the US for the cause that matters to me most, so I still give them a bit here and there when I have it.

While I understand the frustration at wasting your time going to the interview, it's very, very unlikely that the HR people who dropped the ball on cancelling are also the minimum wage or volunteer grunts who send out mailers/do calls for their charity drives.

Also, good on your mother for letting them know.

I've started sending those strongly worded letters. It's easy with email and does at least let them know there's a problem, and takes up their time and effort.

My beef is not so much the money (though twas the case not long ago, and yes, a dollar a week is over $50 a year and that's big money) but that I have to get up to answer the door-knockers. I've got arthritis, gdi! This is why I don't want to stop and listen to your spiel in the shopping mall either. Let me just put some money in a tin and leave it at that!
