My standard letter indicates that we have certain charities we donate and do not have the funds to accomadate any additional charities. Mine are the Native American schools. I've even contacted them and requested that my or my husband's mail info be given out. It's been honored. Recently, I had a phone call from a public television foundation thanking me for our support. I politely explained that four letters were sent requesting removal. The caller was very apologetic and so was I because I understand the hard work that a fundraiser does. CC.org: my catalog receipts are almost nil..Thanks again. Barbara, that’s what I did and it’s worked.

It's a simple database code. Most can also code you electronic only etc. You will have to contact the organization and if they can't accomodate this you might reconsider whether you want to continue your support. as a professional fundraiser I can tell you that any nonprofit worth its salt (and your donation) should be able to send you LESS postal appeal letters at your request.

I don't think that unwanted charity is better in any respect then unwanted catalog. And it waste money donated by other donors.
