If I make a one-time donation to a charity, and then they proceed to spend the equivalent of that amount mailing me solicitations for more money, and then they sell my address to similar charities who also spend money mailing me, I’m not inclined to think that any of my money helps the cause I originally donated to.

that's why i don't give to such. i prefer to directly help when i can.
any others, i check on the %age they spend on promotion solicitations, CEOs' salary, etc.
