  As far as I can tell, the simplest cases here are 100% legit. Your link.

  Honestly one of the biggest reasons I don't donate more is I fucking hate how much junk mail and spam I get as a result. Oxfam has been sending us two or three letters a month for years. I wish there was some way to anonymously donate to charities, so they wouldn't ever receive any contact information for me. Maybe send them paper cash in the mail or something......

    Anonymous donating would be fantastic. My wife has a direct debit for UNICEF which sends a few pounds their way each money. Yet several times per year they write to her and ask her to increase her donation or give a top-up sum. The next time she receives one she will be phoning them to cancel. I really don't understand the psychology of charities.

    I recommend networkforgood.org. They give you the choice of how much of your personal information to share with the receiving charity. Since my dad died I sometimes donate in his name to his favorite charity, and I don't have to give them so much as an email address. Network for Good has never spammed me, either.
