  How hard can it be to donate to charity? The Ten Percent Foundation is a charitable trust registered with the Charity Commission in England and Wales. The Foundation was set up in 2003 to distribute the profits donated by companies within the Ten Percent Group of websites. All the companies within the Ten Percent Group donate 10% of net profits every year to charity as part of their general commitment to society, coupled with the moral and ethical stance taken by the founders when the companies were set up. Every year the trustees of the Ten Percent Foundation meet to discuss the donations we are going to make from the profits that have been put into the foundation, and we come up with a list which is usually a selection of charities the trustees have a personal interest in, charities suggested by clients, candidates, transcribers, translators, and suppliers, and also charities who make direct applications to the Ten Percent Foundation. Donating is Easy? You woul
