I promised we'd donate 10% of all sales to Japan Relief via the Pearson Foundation. In favor of transparency, here is a record of our payment on March 25 (one more payment to go at the end of the month). From when we started this on March 15th to March 25th, gross sales were $2,197.47
As that figure suggests: Yes, we are a very small business, but at least we try. The Pearson Foundation is matching our donations, so this $220 becomes $440 on the way to help Japanese people recover.
