This charity is also a very worthy one that can use the money in countless ways:

They do! Though we haven’t heard anything from them in quite a while. https://blogs.loc.gov/thesignal/2012/09/yes-the-library-of-congress-has-video-games-an-interview-with-david-gibson/

I’m a historic preservationist (albeit an architectural one), and a lot of the problems you are describing here are also problems we have preserving significant material culture like buildings and landscapes as well.
