Hello everyone!
I'm thinking of setting up some auctions for some of my artworks, and would like to donate 50% of the proceeds to good causes, and I am looking for suggestions. They do not have to be specifically/officially Libertarian, Anarchist, or whatnot; though if promoting such ideas (even indirectly) are part of their goals that would be nice.
Some Requirements & Preferences for Recommended organizations:
1.) MUST be an officially recognized non-profit as per the taxing authorities of the U.S., Canada, the U.K., Australia, Belize, New Zealand, or other countries where English is the official language (the English requirement is simply for my convenience)
2.) My preference (though not required) is for smaller organizations (assets under $1,000,000) where donations of a few thousand to a few tens-of-thousands would be more greatly appreciated and make a bigger difference in their operations. I also prefer a smaller organization so that donated money is more likely to do direct good and help other as opposed to paying overhead and director salaries.
3.) I have a strong preference for supporting education, especially of youth 18 and under. I also have a strong preference towards supporting organizations involved in directly aiding families suffering great hardship where it affects children and their physical and emotional well-being (people in actual need, through no fault of there own that simply need a helping hand). For example, in the town in which I currently live, my wife & I make a point to give (though we are not "rich", we do the best we can) money, food, clothing to some small local groups because we know the aid will actually get where it needs to go, and to those in actual need of a helping hand, the kind of help where it means the difference between food & no food, shoes or no shoes, etc.
Please post your suggestions, with URL links &/or other contact information in the comments. I look forward to reading what comes in
