I was wondering if this has happened to anyone else & if someone knows of a way to get my name removed from whatever source they are getting this info from. It has really taken the joy out of my original donations! Obviously one of these charities (or maybe both of them) sold my info to the rest and this just really offends me. This yr I plan on making a donation to my local PBS station and I sure hope this doesn't open another floodgate of solications. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
PBS doesn't share your info. In fact it sends its own program infornation over the internet.
I think the Salvation Army does not share either, or they ask first.
But March of dimes does. They are so large the lists are a valuable commodity.
Usually charities ask if they can share.
