I also give nearly 100% of what I do, on a daily basis. The question is not
about what you, but how and why you do it.

Anticipate everything, expect nothing. See above.
If someone gives me credit for anything I do (and they usually do), then
that's great. It warms my heart every time really. But if they don't, they
don't, and that's just fine. When you start expecting credit for something
you need to reevaluate your motivations IMHO.

When you do, don't tell the world "hey guys, I figured it out", because the
only answer you'll get is "no shit. join the club".

You may have a problem with your volunteer organization. We are doing just
fine here, thank you. We want to help you, do you want to help us?

I regularly help people "figure things out", but I don't take credit for it
when they do. "Hello world, I got this dude to actually understand
something. Ain't I just great!". No thank you.
