Default OT - Charitable Requests Overwhelming

We have about a half-dozen that we have checked out fairly thoroughly and feel comfortable donation to, and about the same number of local groups that we are familiar with. What amazes me is the number of duplicates, or with barely or slightly different names but the same address. It is hard to image that someone who compiles computer lists isn't savvy enough to weed out obvious duplicates.


They don't want to weed out the duplicates. They are intentional to
sound like the legitimate charity. If the legit charity is The Ingrown
Toenail Association (ITA) and they get a lot of support, someone will
come up with Ingrown Toenail of America to get your donation and pocket
most of it. (ITofA)
