I donate to so many non-profits (I'm not a member of any though), do I have to include this in the Personal Activities section?

Thanks!

Donating to non-profits isn't really an "activity". Activities are typically

1) Employed
2) Education\Studying
3) Unemployed\Looking for jobs.

The only organisations you have to declare your membership of are military, government and political ones.

I just got confused by this line:

"List any organizations XXX has supported"

I thought donations would count as "support" I guess, but I'd have to enter 50 organizations so I really hope I don't have to lol
