Don't be so modest. If what I've seen of the LotR movies is any indication, you have it as good or better there as I did in Vermont.
As for helping for purely alturistic means, it's unlikely. Even if you are doing something good for purely alturistic purposes, the fact that it's not hard to also gain a pecuniary benefit from it means you usually work it to your benefit at least a bit. Example: charitable tax deductions - if you're gonna give, at least make the other taxpayers soak up a bit, right?
