Robots Love Boobs, Soldiers and Children!

Posted by ForNoReason - July 7th, 2010


Making a game or movie for Robot Day and don't know what to do with all that pesky ad revenue? Well why don't you donate it to one of the many charity accounts that are on Newgrounds?!

List one, or more, of these accounts to your project under the "non credited authors" and allot a percentage of your earnings to that charity account. Robot Day is a huge opportunity for the Newgrounds community to come together and have a hell of a lot of fun, and also do a hell of a lot of good.

Charity Accounts:

The Yellow Ribbon Fund

General Info:

The Yellow Ribbon Fund was created in early 2005 to assist our injured service members and their families while they recuperate at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center and the National Naval Medical Center. Our mission began when the father of an injured Marine introduced two of our volunteers to staff at Walter Reed and Bethesda Naval and they told us what needs were not met by other donors.

In almost four years contributions made through the Yellow Ribbon Fund have provided the following for injured service members and their families: 900 free rental cars: over 11,000 free taxi rides; over 4,000 free hotel room nights; and 38 families have used our five apartments for almost 4,000 nights; and hundreds of free tickets to sporting games, concerts and plays, and hundreds of lunches, dinners, golf games, duck and goose hunts, fishing trips, and other activities.

Breast Cancer Research Fund

Mission

The Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF), founded in 1993 by Evelyn H. Lauder, works to achieve prevention and a cure for breast cancer in our lifetime by providing critical funding for innovative clinical and genetic research at leading medical centers worldwide, and increasing public awareness about good breast health. Since its inception, the Foundation has raised over $237 million to support clinical and genetic research at medical institutions across the globe conducting the most advanced and promising breast cancer research that will help lead to prevention and a cure in our lifetime. In October, 2008, BCRF awarded $34.5 million in new research grants to 166 scientists from top universities and academic medical centers across the globe.

Child's Play

General Info:

Since 2003, over 100,000 gamers worldwide have banded together through Child's Play, a community based charity grown and nurtured from the game culture and industry. Over 3.5 million dollars in donations of toys, games, books and cash for sick kids in children's hospitals across North America and the world have been collected since our inception.

Care

General Info:

CARE is a leading humanitarian organization fighting global poverty. We place special focus on working alongside poor women because, equipped with the proper resources, women have the power to help whole families and entire communities escape poverty. Women are at the heart of CARE's community-based efforts to improve basic education, prevent the spread of HIV, increase access to clean water and sanitation, expand economic opportunity and protect natural resources. CARE also delivers emergency aid to survivors of war and natural disasters, and helps people rebuild their lives.

My respect for you just grew 4 time reading this post.

Pitch the idea to Tom to see if you can get several animaters and authors to give a small amount to charities on days like Robot day, or the upcoming Clock Day and Madness Day.

Dude it's great what your doing! :P

Great idea. Maybe it would be possible to add a "supported charity" author type. Although we must be somewhat certain that the money really go there. If those are your accounts and you intend to forward the money, maybe you should pass them over to Tom if thats possible. Maybe he could even have them chosen on a seperate list, they wouldn't neet to be in authors buddy list?

They don't have to be on your buddy list, that is just an option. The best thing to do is add the account to the non credited authors portion on the "Submit Flash" page. I never touch any money with these accounts. All the accounts are linked to the charities payment addresses. Tom manages the Child's Play account and I manage the other three. I have gotten his permission to run the other three.
