It's good to be aware of places like this museum that are worthy of donations.
I had volunteered - for many years - my professional and nonprofessional services to my local high school (my alma mater). The PC crowd, assisted greatly by the liberal college in my home town (I used to support that college, too!) packed the school board, and changed the name from Robert E. Lee High School to Staunton High School. The local newspaper added its support, publishing inaccurate columns from guest columnists who are pseudo historians, and refused to publish letters opposing its views. Steve Sylvia wrote a great column in North South Trader's Civil War magazine debunking inaccurate accusations of The Lost Cause and White Supremacy when statutes were erected over 100 years ago, I asked & he gave permission for my local paper to print it - but it refused. Instead, it imported liberal columns from The Washington Post, and published letters making false claims, and regurgitating The Lost Cause and White Supremacy myths.
I've donated to the organization that (successfully) fought the Charlottesville (Va.) city council's decision to remove statues of Lee and Jackson. City council has announced it will appeal the court's decision. The statutes have been vandalized several times since the court's ruling, the city was active in arresting and prosecuting people who tried to remove the giant plastic shrouds the city placed over the statues during the legal proceedings, but has made no arrests for the recent serious vandalism, and has turned down offers to provide video surveillance for free.
My church, of which I've been a member for all of my 66 years, has gone off the deep end (on the national level), discouraging me from contributing in the standard method, where some of that goes to the national causes.
I have supported my college (the historic University of Virginia) over the years. The school has a beautiful building designed by Thomas Jefferson, called the Rotunda, on whose walls hang a separate plaque for every war in our country's history, listing former students who were killed in that particular conflict. The fact that alumni killed in the War Between the States who fought for the Confederacy were honored was deemed "hurtful", and that plaque was recently removed.
The new tax law doesn't allow deductions to charities unless the deductions exceed the (raised) standard deduction, which has cut down on giving. In the meantime, assistance programs, the earned income credit, the child care credit, etc. have helped a lot of people who used to solely rely on charitable donations.
To sum it up, it's nice to have choices for my not so plentiful bounty that are deserving, and don't tick me off.
Rant over - Carl, feel free to delete this if it has crossed this board's line.
