Thanks a lot for your input and the 10 years you have put into volunteering. It is definitely quite often way more important than giving money, especially with your particular skill.

Would you mind elaborating on your take about the salaries of people working in the nonprofit sector? Do you believe their salaries should be covered by the government, or a separate donor pool covering overhead specifically? Or otherwise?

There is a brilliant book about the charitable sector of the UK called “Our common good. if the state provides less, who will provide more?”. It gives a good insight into UK’s art and education institutions, as well as healthcare.
