My conference biz, at our last event donated 7k (10% of our take home) to a local food bank, that we hosted a code jam for. They came out with a new application to help families locate local food, and enough coin to purchase 14k meals. Before we were even making money, we decided 20% would be given back in 2 forms; 10% to the developer community that our events focus on, and 10% to a more global or "above deveopers" charity toward making the world a better place. Giving rocks! :D wish I was nearer to Boston. Giving back is definitely important.
