Review for St. Joseph's Indian School, Chamberlain, SD, USA
My elderly father sent donations to St Joseph's Indian School for years. His dementia had deteriorated his natural perspicacity, but not, unfortunately, his ability to write checks and sign up for monthly donations. When he died in 2014, I wrote this "charity" requesting they take him off their mailing list. They did, but added mine. almost every month since then, I have received large envelopes full of lots of junk: tablets, note pads, post-it notes, stickers, address labels, dream catchers, greeting cards, postcards, calendars, etc., etc. I have written back twice asking to be removed from their list, to no avail. I do NOT give to charities who waste donations sending unsolicited crap to unlikely donors. I don't know what % of donations actually go to the kids but it must be pretty small.
We apologize if you do not wish to receive mail from us. If you give us a call at 1-800-341-2235 we can update that for you. Due to the number of mailings we receive, written requests can unfortunately sometimes be missed. $.71 of every dollar goes to the children and our cost to raise a dollar for fiscal year 2015 was approximately $.29.
