Giving Back

Aaron understands the importance of charity -- and giving back to the community around him. That's why he's chosen to donate to the designated charities below.

For every single purchase that is made on aaronwulf.com, Aaron will give a percentage of the sale to one charity from the list on this page, and you will be allowed to select the recipient. This will be done during the checkout process for your order.

Each of the selected charities has been carefully screened to ensure the donation is used properly -- and given to people who need it the most; Aaron has personally inspected the financial records and recorded audits.

The charities below have a proven track record of fiscal responsibility and achievement -- with average yearly operating and revenue expenses only around $2 million -- small by any standards. We've attached their mission statements, as well.

However, even if you don't buy a photograph, Aaron encourages you to donate to these worthy causes, as well.
