I'm very interested in charities. I help a lot of different charities.

I am a charity campaigner.

I've been doing a lot of stuff that has to do with charity and giving. I'm trying to give and not take as much.

Charity fundraisers are nothing new to me. In the past, I have taken part in ski races for hospitals, walks for breast cancer, and long distance bike rides for geriatric care.

Shockingly, the Bidens donated under $1,000 to all charities combined every year for the ten years prior to 2008.

Fundraising is very, very time-consuming.

As you might imagine, I'm approached by lots of organizations and lots of people who want me to support their various charitable efforts in some way. And I look at those requests, and I basically try to do what I can.

I don't pay attention to auction prices. Nothing interests me less. One of the benefits of not being an artist is I don't have to navigate the social hierarchies of the art world as a person of desire. I don't need anything. I live in a different way.

But there are many, and I'm a supporter of a great deal of charities.

Suggest your children try tithing - giving 10 percent of their allowance to a charity every month.
