I get that many a day, and round-file them all.

Save yourself the stress and do the same.

Pick a couple of worthy ones and send them a check once or twice a year, regardless of those mailings.

I swear, if I give to an organization, it seems they spend every sent I sent them asking for more.

Exactly! I tell Dad that, but he thinks it's the only thing he can do to help. Most of them have a form to fill out asking what things are bothering you about the country, then the next request will include some horrific story that centers around the topic(s) you've selected, which, of course, makes the recipient MORE likely to send money.

It's a scam! One of the worst seems to be "Council of Seniors". They do NOTHING, but they send the MOST requests. Sometimes Dad even gets berated for not sending money!

That really irks me to no end. I do not donate to them again.
