Philanthropy

While I am not a big corporatation with millions of dollars at my disposal, I try my best to assist with my community any way I can. Before selecting an organization to feature for my Third Eye Project, research is done to ensure a large percentage (at least 80%) of the charity's total expenses is spent on the programs and services it delivers. Below you will find past organizations featured for the Third Eye Project, organized from most recent to oldest.
