5% Of All Sale Profits Are Donated To Charity

That's right. The ninja totally provides.

Due to the unrelenting horror of life, a well balanced act of charity can often turn impending doom into prosperous awesomeness. This is why nickleninja.com shaves off 5% of all sale profits, places them into a pool, and awaits the keen eye of the observant ninja to identify a charity, organization, or family in need.

Since this is not limited to just large non-profits like Red Cross and such, we use the term "charity" with some inaccuracy.
In most cases, it is an even distribution of moderate provisions for underprivelaged families in third world countries. For example, say we generate $3,000 for our next charity adventure. The cost of buying a couple pigs and chickens for a family is roughly $50. This means we provide a couple pigs and chickens for 60 families in third world countries this time around.
Another case may be a new computer lab for a local education facility, support for local animal rescue programs, or massive contributions to food drives.

Naturally, we can't be expected to know of every charity organization or needy case on the planet. Because we can't help everyone, we would rather not be contacted about any charities or needy cases. There would be no way to answer all of the requests. Rest assured, we will provide where we can and report the efforts on this site.

The basic formula for this number is (gross - cost) * .05. In other words, if you purchase a dvd box set for $20, we take $20 minus our cost, which can be around $10 to $15. Say this left $8 to be fair. We then take 5% of $8, which is 40 cents, and place it in the charity pool. This may seem like an insignificant number, but in one month it can add up very quickly. Bear in mind that we will end up paying nearly half of the remainder in general small business taxes. We end up making about $4 per unit in a typical case. Not a whole lot, really, but enough to not die.

There is no regulated time frame between charitable acts. At least one per year is guaranteed, since humans tend to pay taxes every year. We aspire to donate at least once a month, but this goal is dependent on sales and therefore cannot be guaranteed.

We report our charity efforts through whimsical tales of the ninja providing acts of charity. They are clearly not to be taken seriously as far as the acts of the ninja are concerned. The charity act is real, but definitely does not unfold as reported on this site. In all cases, the actual charity act is stated in clear, factual english at the bottom of every charity page.
