I just tell the person, " No thank you, I already donate." which is not a lie, I donate via my work site through payroll deduction. I did have one cashier sarcastically reply with, " well....I'll bet you do..." I reported her to the store manager, telling him I don't have to explain what I do with my money in their store to their cashier.

If I ever give to charity I'd rather nobody knew about it. There is a saying that goes something like this "the left hand does not know what the right hand did" meaning that you give discreetly and not inorder to gain publicity.
