I was listening to a podcast on my run this morning and they were talking about visiting and supporting your local science museum.
It got me thinking that currently, we really aren't supporting any local non-profit cultural, entertainment, or educational ventures. Over the years, we have had memberships at various places like a botanical garden, a community theater, an art museum, etc. I think once the whole COVID thing settles down, we need to get back to doing that.
I'm going to speak to DW about this. I'd like us to subscribe to the community theater again. We both love theater and enjoyed when we were kind of "forced" to go see the shows there because we had already paid for them.
I don't know that we want to do the botanical garden again but maybe one of the many museums in Philly. DW has gone to one particular museum a few times with a friend who has a membership. Maybe we can join one of the others and take her along in return.
I know it's not the most altruistic sort of charity since we get something out of it ourselves, but it's a way to help a good cause and provide some activity and entertainment for us at the same time.
What local non-profit places do you support like theaters and museums?

Have you considered joining your local Elks Club or another community organization like that? They tend to have activities but also do community projects.

We do very much support our synagogue every year. We also donate regularly to other charities that are important to us (not local ones specifically). It's the arts and culture stuff I was thinking about, so the theaters and museums mainly.
