I'm in fundraising, and I'm appalled at the heavy-handedness being described.

You should be able to walk into your workplace without being ambushed.  You should also be able to say "no" without having to worry about penalites and/or humiliation.   As far as I'm concerned, neither of these approaches will actually encourage giving. 

"My charitable giving was fully committed." This is a perfect response
