What is Art for a Cause?

Since the start of 2014, I have been donating 15% of my revenue to local charities. I am currently supporting FareStart which I have also volunteered a number of hours with. FareStart is providing a solution to homelessness, joblessness, poverty, and hunger. They teach culinary skills to the homeless and disadvantaged as well as providing assistance in all other areas necessary to succeed in finding employment. 

Have a suggestion for a charity I should support? Drop me a line!
