How long have you been donating philanthropically? How much do you donate each year?

I gave TAF $30K+ over 5 or 6 years, and it was $5,100 per year.

Years ago, TAF was giving away George Rodrigue "Mike the Tiger" prints with every $500 donation to help build the tiger habitat. At one time, I had 25 or 30 of the prints. I then sold them on ebay for $300-500 to recoup some of my TAF investment, which in turn got reinvested into TAF in subsequent years. TAF gave me the basis for which I was able to donate so much over a short period of time. I am guessing the $30K on their books only really cost me $15-20K and I have a pretty decent standing in TAF where I can get away and bowl tickets for face value.

And with the $5K per year donation, I was able to do some really cool things. I got invited to TAF baseball suite, do a tour at Charlie Mac practice facility and coaches offices, TAF private gameday parties at the Cox Center and one at the JSchool, go on the field for pre-game among other things

Now that I am not working, I only donate $100/year (for the 2 points per consecutive year) and I donate it to a philanthropic cause.
