Stopping Junk Mail From Charities Doesn't Need to Be a Hassle

While you worry about the spotted tree frog and know that children who read do better in school, you already have charities that you support. However, your mailbox almost always seems full of postcards and envelopes requesting money or other items.

With the DoNotPay app, stopping junk mail from charities is a snap. DoNotPay helps you stop junk mail from various charities with a few clicks, and you're done.

What Counts as Physical Spam/Junk Mail?

When you receive a letter from a charity, you might wonder if it's actually junk mail. The truth is that junk or spam mail is any type of mail you receive that you didn't specifically request from the sender. This includes:

Why Am I Getting Junk Mail in the First Place?

With all the junk mail from charities, you have to wonder how you got on their mailing list in the first place. You don't give out your personal information to everyone. There are a few ways that you might end up on a charity mailing list.

One of the most common ways occurs when one of the credit bureaus supplies your information. In some cases, you signed up for a contest or some other giveaway. No matter how you got on the list, you want the junk mail from charities to stop.

Can I Opt-Out of Junk Mail on Behalf of Someone Else?

You might want to help your elderly parents or a close friend remove themselves from a charity mail list. Is that ? You can certainly take the first steps on behalf of someone else. However, if the recipient needs to sign the request, the person who receives the junk mail from charities needs to sign it themselves.

Should I Opt-Out Permanently or Just for a Certain Time Period?

When it comes to getting rid of junk email from charities, you can opt-out for a set period of time or permanently. The decision is yours. You might decide at a later date that you want to add a new charity to the list that you are donating to, so you might want to opt-out for a period of time. If you know that you're never going to donate to a charity that provides pate to French schoolchildren, then opt-out permanently.

How to Stop Junk Mail From Charities on Your Own

It can take time, but stopping junk mail from charities is something you can do on your own. The FTC advises following these few steps:

1. Start by navigating to the Direct Marketing Association's (DMA) consumer website.
2. Select the charities that you don't want to get junk mail from any longer.
3. There is a $2 fee that you need to pay.

The DMA website blocks junk mail from charities for a period of 10 years. However, DoNotPay makes it even easier!
