I get the same from charities I donate to, too. I give through my work
payroll so if anyone calls or asks for a donation I just explain that to
them. My allocation of donations is already figured out, maybe next
year. I also just tend to donate to animal rescue groups. My favorite
one is on the list for payroll deduction so it works out well.
