I'll keep the stuff if it's useful... but I have no added incentive to donate to your cause if you sent me stuff.

Pretty much this. If I want to donate I will go out and donate to something I have interest in not someone that comes to me with their hand out. As for the swag? I usually dump it but if I am interested I keep it. I have a pack of those exact address labels that hit my mailbox soon after I moved into this house. As little mail as I send out I will probably have them for many years to come, lol.

I get mad at them for spending so much money sending out all of that stuff to people who didn't ask for it and will likely just throw it in the garbage.

I don't see the point in tossing them either way, it's not as if they can be used for something else. At least that way you are giving them free advertising on your mail in exchange for not having to write your address.
I only donate when I feel like it though, not generally because of a fundraising campaign.

I donate to DAV when they send stuff but not every time. Usually around every 4th or 5th time I will send them a check.

I keep the stuff and don't donate. I have places I regularly donate to in person. Not going to let someplace guilt me into it. I didn't ask them to send the stuff, nice as it might be.

I've probably written a grand total of 2 letters in the past 10 years. Having 100 return address stickers is really pointless. Toss it, no donation, I don't feel guilty, because I didn't ask for it.

Don't get much of that stuff anymore. Use to get Easter seals every year and would send a donation to that.
