Usually, they enclose "gifts," such as calendars, greeting cards, address labels, notepads, religious tokens and even gloves and blankets. I've tried sending requests for no gifts, but they are ignored. Some charities send mail- ings on a weekly basis. If I could, I'd donate to them all, but I can't, and I'm getting both frustrated and angry. I'm reluctant to make any donation at all because my name immediately goes onto a list. How can I stop these donation requests and be sure that what money I do have to give goes to reputable charities that will use it wisely without adding me to mailing lists for others? -- Joy M., e-mail Dear Joy: Sadly, with so many people unemployed, there are fewer dollars available to chari- ties. That means charities are com- peting and scrambling hard to cap- ture as many of the available dol- lars as possible. Some, as you are learning, are pulling out all the stops. Donating once to a charity without a donor privacy policy in place can result in an onslaught of mail appeals from numerous unre- lated businesses and other non- profit organizations because they do sell their lists. You can limit the amount of mail you get by follow- ing these tips: • Only donate to charities that have written donor pri- vacy policies in place. Look for a link on the charity's home page or donations page, and read the policy carefully, or look for this information on the printed material. • Get in touch with the charities directly. Request that they stop sending you appeals. While you are on the phone, be sure to get the names and numbers of the third parties to whom your name may have been sold. Contact them, as well. Responsi- ble and well-run chari- ties are grateful for your donations and should be willing to comply with your requests. Navigator.org) and request that your donation be sent anonymous- ly to that organization. This will ensure that you avoid any future contact from the organization you're supporting, and it will prevent your informa- tion from being shared with third parties. Stopping all of this Mary Hunt Everyday Cheapskate • Concentrate your giving. Sending small donations to a vari- ety of organizations is a sure way to get your name on a shared mail- ing list. Instead, focus your dona- tions on just one or two worthy organizations to reduce your chances of getting inundated with other requests. • Give anonymously. You can give to any charity through Chari- ty Navigator (http://www.Charity- Burn Permits required CalFire and Tehama County Fire Department wants to remind every- one that Burn Permits are required for the month of May in the unincorpo- rated areas of Tehama County except Capay Fire District and the Cities of Corning and Red Bluff.
