Do you donate money? How, why, why not? - eviltoast

I was thinking about it. I donate to quite a few charities, but they specifically mean something to me. Others I don’t really think about, though they’re good. I guess we all have a threshold or we’d be broke and for many that could be no donations at all or just a fiver the the street guy.

    Yup. Be aware that if you do donate money you’ll get bombarded with snail mail, email, texts, and phone calls for the rest of your days. I don’t say this to discourage anyone from being charitable. Just be ready for that. Politicians are the most aggressive about it.

      I’ve NEVER donated to anything besides the Cleveland APL. I STILL get regular texts from people posing as trump asking for donations. I block ghat number, but they have endless numbers. I block all that text me.
