professional fundraiser 

Really annoying telemarketers that are exempt from National Do Not Call Lists who call asking for donations for really good sounding organizations and programs yet only a very small percentage of the donated funds go to those programs
"do you make commissions off of what I donate?"

"No ma'am, I'm a professional fundraiser and I do not make commissions. I get paid the same hourly wage whether you donate or not."

Fundraiser fatigue 

A feeling of being overwhelmed and exhausted from constant exposure to social media posts asking for donations. While the individual suffering from this condition may not be financially stable enough themselves to give their money away, an overexposure to conflict, suffering, and humanitarian tragedies will inflict a feeling of guilt for not being able to help.
"I donated my last $20 to Scott's fundraiser last weekend, but ever since then, some of my favourite influencers asked me to give money to like 10 other charities. I really can't afford anything at the moment, but seeing all this suffering in the world really wears me out and makes me feel so guilty for not doing enough. I think I'm suffering from fundraiser fatigue."
