Review for St Labre Indian School Educational Association, Ashland, MT, USA
Since 2010, I have donated to several Native American organizations, ones I believe are worthy of, and good stewards of, my financial assistance. But I am sure that some of those organizations have sold my name and address to other groups, such as St. Labre Indian School. While some of those groups may solicit donations once in awhile, St. Labre is relentless in constantly sending me requests, bordering on harassment. Many times I have sent back the request, asking to be removed from their list. But that does not work - I still get the requests. Since March 2016, when I started keeping track, I have received St. Labre mailings on 3/7/16, 6/1/16, 6/21/16, 7/5/16, 10/15/16, 11/15/16, 12/13/16, 2/25/17, 3/15/17, 4/5/17, 5/4/17 and today (5/17/17). I wonder why they waste their donors' money, sending out these constant requests. I have let the school know I have no intention of ever sending them a donation. Maybe they do good work, but all these mailings leave a very bad taste in my mouth. I gave one star, but really, they deserve no stars.
I am sorry to hear about your frustration. To raise sufficient funds to provide for the many services we provide for the Native American children we serve, we, unfortunately, have to send out many mailings. We have many ways to reduce mailings and love it when our donors ask us to help save money by reducing those mailings. We thank you for your previous support and we hope that you continue with your philanthropy, whether you support the children we serve or another worthy cause!
