When I was in the USN back in the Seventies, they used to pressure all of us to give “officially” to the United Way.
Everyone.
It pissed me off so much I haven’t given them a cent since then. And that was over forty five years ago.

I have a very similar experience. Slightly different. There was an option to give a lump sum or a fixed contribution taken out of the regular pay period. I was willing to give the lump sum but that option went away and we were forced to give a “regular” deduction. That made it easy for me as my regular deduction amount was made ZERO.
