Do you ever wonder what to do about unwanted mail? It often seems like the more you give, the more likely it is that you will be on other mailing lists, and the more likely it is that you will be solicited for donations. What should you do?

I suggest that you decide in advance which charities you want to support; then discard appeals from all other groups. Do not ever feel guilty about not supporting all the groups that write to you. Physically and financially, you cannot support them all! However, you can help the causes that are most important to you. If you stop giving to all of the organizations that mail you solicitations, these organizations will eventually stop soliciting you.
