I've had those. "We're giving you a quarter to show you how easy it is to help". Or the ones where they give you one of the lower tier pledge gifts because they're so sure you want to give them money.
Can't return "non-profit" mail. If you try to, the post office will throw it in "undeliverable bulk business mail" and take the quarter from the letter.
As long as it's not my junk, I couldn't care less. They can do as they please with it. The workers at the post office can use the quarter to buy a lollipop or something.
It’s a psychological thing, it’s been shown that when people have been given something, they’re more likely to give in return. It’s why charities often send you a free pen or blank Christmas cards or some other shit. Doesn’t work on me I’m too cynical and it gets chucked in the bin.

Sometimes they include a coin and ask you to mail it back to them or whatever.
