No, I don't assume that you only donate to one charity. I do assume that the amount you can donate to charity is capped, and that charity allocation is therefore zero-sum - a dollar you donate to the State Troopers is a dollar you haven't donated somewhere else. I agree that we need more charity, but donating to the "wrong" charity - one that does not use your money to do good effectively - is as bad as not donating.

As for how the State Troopers spend it - I would trust the paperwork.
