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.
