I would disagree that the information is public. Have you ever read a Form 990 that charities are required to file annually with the IRS? I have read a lot of them, and they rarely contain clear and accurate information about the charity. There are thousands, if not millions, of charities. And a lot of IRS approved charities (501c3) are nothing more than scams.

And for a lot of them once you make a contribution you get mail from them every couple of weeks asking for more. And lots of them thank you for your contribution by sending address labels more money that does not go to the cause they are soliciting for.
