We had Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, Cyber Monday, and now Giving Tuesday. It was created in 2012 as a global generosity movement unleashing the power of radical generosity. Over the years I have donated to several reputable charities in amounts up to $100. These include cultural organizations, not-for-profit radio stations, universities, food banks, and medical institutions. I trust that all of these entities minimize their administrative costs and overhead.
All of these organizations ask for home address, email address, and cell phone number. It seems that it is easiest to make a pitch for a donation via email. Thus, over the past few days, I have spent much time deleting emails. I did donate to one medical organization yesterday. Once you donate to one group, they constantly ask for more money. I get many snail mails, text messages, and even phone calls asking for donations.
