The relevant percentage is not "normal people who itemize" but "NPR contributors who itemize." Do you have that number?

I don't but I think they're mostly average people. Wealthy people are too rare to matter.

Less true for art museums and things because wealthy people can get more out of their donations, like their name on stuff and cool party invitations.

"I think they're mostly average people"

that's an easily-testable hypothesis. I dispute it.

As for "Wealthy people are too rare to matter" do a search on the percentage of income taxes paid by the wealthy.
