That happens if you donate to ANY cause, ever.

If you give money to, I don’t know, a charity for hungry kids in <insert poor country>, they will send you MORE begging mails, not less.

Serious. I found donating blood to have been a bit of a mistake, the bastards just won't stop calling asking for more.

To be fair, you donated to Dr. Acula.

I must say he is quite polite.

Same. I got so tired of the Red Cross phone calls that I changed the phone number in my profile to their customer service line.

I donate yearly to the Purple Heart Foundation and they're quite respectful in communications.

And this makes it OK? The status quo’s brokenness is not an excuse for acting like an ass.

Same here. Donated once and had to setup filters for the subsequent flood of email. I'd be more inclined to ignore that annoyance if they could get a handle on activist editing, which exists across the entire political spectrum for pages that touch on social or political adjacent topics. But I suppose that's what you get with volunteers. Just can't bring myself to support it.

I'm in the same boat, every agency I've donated to has turned into a google-powered ad-shilling-machine within a week. It makes it impossible to trust well-intending organizations.

That's why you should be using an email alias for that
