Giving Back

I already feel blessed by the Artwork I've learned to make over the last 20 years, and I don't want to have to live with myself feeling greedy, so I'm pledging to donate 20% of my gross income from this corporation to charities.

I currently work for a company owned by AWS Foundation, Inc., a not for profit foundation, and they will surely receive at least 3%, more if this retires me early.

I have always felt a small debt of gratitude to the Red Cross for a phone call they arranged when I was a young Marine in Okinawa, and tho' Ive never needed them for anything like hurricane relief, I know they do powerfully good things for a lot of people, and They will get several percent as well.

Zookland.com(^) probably makes it fairly clear that I'll be contributing more than just time and data to the Fort Wayne Astronomical Society(^), and I'd love to accelerate the opening date of the observatory they are working to build.

My personal faith requires contributions to various Christian groups who are dear to my heart, and I will also consider other charities who ask if I am personally sympathetic to their cause.
