Yesterday I got around to contacting the ACLU about their mailing list- specifically, I would like to donate to them, but I don't want mailings. At all. Period. Their website didn't make it clear how to do this; it also made it clear that feedback comments could not be responded to. I sighed and I sent them a note anyway.
I got an email response, quite quickly, saying my email had been forwarded, and this morning I got a phone-call.
Yes, they will tick a "no mailings" flag in their database if you ask them to. And yes, they definitely want to know if you've named them in your will. A trust has made a matching grant of 10% of your future gift's value, if you're willing to tell the ACLU how much you think that will be.
Hm. Considering that you're going to be pulling that number from thin air, it sounds like a sizable donation to ACLU. It seems sensible for all parties concerned- and if I'm willing to mention them in my will, I ought to be willing to let them know when I'm alive as well. Right? Especially if they honour the "don't bother me" flag.
