Marketing Bad Actor: TVO
This year I made a donation to TV Ontario for their work on The Agenda. As I always do, I explicitly stated that I did not wish to be placed on any marketing lists. TVO did not comply with this request -- they sent some nonsense newsletter to me with a marketing appeal to donate my estate to them.
TVO is a bad actor when it comes to nonprofit marketing. My recommendation is that you should not donate to them.
(Yes, I understand that there is a conflict here. I only give money to those organizations I feel are worth supporting. Then they turn around and betray me. Mediocre organizations do not even get the opportunity to betray me. I have no solution to this conflict, but I am sick and tired of bad actors getting away with their bad actions because nobody is calling them out on it.)
