    I personally don't think they shouldn't unless is illegal. I find it very strange, when they are always asking for money. Strange!

    nothing strange, it is a fundraising strategy although to some it may seem counter intuitive, it is basically a loss-leader.

    they will be gathering people's information to create a database to carry out fundraising activities with to ask for donations in the future.
