I prefer to donate anonymously. Most of my estate is willed to a
(National) charity, but they won't know it until I'm gone and I like
it that way.

I'm a worthy charity, send me cash. No ID required ;)

That's happened with me too. For one thing, I never contribute to PBS.
Someone gave a relative of mine a "gift membership". It took a long
time before they stopped mailing and calling.

Capitalist pig - why do we all have to profit?

A while back I needed to stop a lot of junk mail to a business. I was
told "REFUSED" is the magic word. I printed stickers and added a more
descriptive 2nd line. 1st class is returned. Some of the cheap bulk mail
isn't (I don't know which) - so trying to return it just creates
problems for the PO.
