Fair enough on all counts. The only charity I do is my own. I don't trust my money to most of these places. Half the time it's not going where they say it's going. Then there are the fabulously wealthy non-profits. The system can always be yanked.
I'm in consulting, but I have a deep love of art in all its forms. I've cultivated a number of contacts over the years in the interest of buying and selling different pieces and rights to things like plays. If you ever are interested in something exceedingly rare, do let me know. I can usually find them through a private seller or at an auction.
