I have come to the point where I only give cash and don’t worry about a deduction. It’s not worth it to go through what you have to go through for years after donating to what you think is a worthy cause. They will hound you to death.
Plenty of people give $2500.00 and over to charities and they don’t get a ton of junk mail.. I wonder which charities they gave to.
I gave $50 to a charity a few months ago and I swear they’re burning it all up on postage trying to get me to give more.
I concur. I have given to a lot of different charities, political advocacy groups, and candidates over the years.
The deluge of solicitations I receive every time I open my mailbox is startling to say the least.
No good deed goes unpunished, I guess.
