Supporting Exceptional Global/Local Work

Agreeing with the ideas of Mr. Kim President of the World Bank, we are ongoing supporters of Kiva.org. 

We also support: Médecins Sans Frontières providing medical relief to victims of war/ disaster and One.org working against poverty .

Antiquities and Art

Ownership, provenance, valuation, and origin are fundamental aspects of international trade, and all of these issues can be particularly important to shipments of rare art and antiquities.  From time to time, we've proudly helped artists, collectors, and dealers in artistic, musical and anthropolical pursuits.
