I understand where you're coming from. If someone does want to donate to a charity, make sure you do it as anonymously as possible! Never provide any kind of legitimate contact information or they will hound you like a swarm of mosquitoes.
I ran into this problem with Habitat for Humanity. Before Caller ID and when answering machines recorded on tape, a caller would call every day at about the same time and hang up at a point where my answering machine would run the tape to the end with nothing on it, preventing any legitimate callers from leaving a message. One day I was home from work early and at the time of the mystery calls the phone rang - it was Habitat for Humanity who I had donated to just a couple of weeks earlier. I made it clear that their calls were unwelcome, and lo and behold the "mystery calls" stopped.
NEVER give any charity your contact information! They will hound you day in and day out!
I believe it is supposed to be the American Institute Cancer Research -AIDC. 203-495-7181-and there are more numbers they use.
A Google search will show you too many complaints against this company. If you are on the Do Not Call list, it does not apply to them. They can hound you as much as they want to.

They never give up and use so many different numbers you cannot block them all. I don't understand the purpose of their calls as they never respond when you answer so what is the point?
FINALLY I called one of the three numbers they have called from. I listened to the recording and found where I could have my number "removed" from their call list. It can take up to 30 days to become effective.
We have TWO charities we donate to, besides Church, and we will not take on any more.
