‘No. 99, the Greedy One.’ Sports gambling and athlete endorsements, plus other letters to the editor for Jan. 20
: I completely agree with a letter-writer advising non-profits about a desire to be mailed once a year or be removed from their lists. Sadly, many non-profits do not honour those requests.
However, too many who do request once-a-year contact do not oblige with a donation. For those who do not, my clients and I feel comfortable sending a gentle reminder request toward the end of the year. As an agency helping to raise funds for many good causes, we do not wish to waste our clients’ money by sending donation requests with no chances of success. Our task, and our passion, is to raise needed funds at a minimal cost to them.Howard GolbergI agree that it is aggravating to receive continuing charitable requests for money. That aggravation is mild compared to our experience.
In 2021, my wife and I looked at what was happening in Canada and the world, and we agreed that we could afford to be more generous. The consequences were disastrous. We increased our charitable donations significantly, and were rewarded by an audit of charitable donations and medical expenses by the Canada Revenue Agency. The increase in donations must have set off alarm bells at the CRA, since our medical expenses were not out of line from previous years.
