FutureTap donates $1,000 to Haiti victims

Indie+Relief was a great success. Yesterday, 294 copies of Where To? have been sold generating $617.40 in proceeds after Apple’s cut.

Some developers suggested Apple should donate its 30% share as well. We absolutely support this idea! While we’re unsure whether Apple will take this step, we decided to not only cover the 30% but round up our donation to $1,000. The sum has been donated to Médecins Sans Frontières (Doctors Without Borders).

If you’re considering a donation yourself and don’t know yet which charity to support, check out this summary of the Huffington Post. Or you can donate to the American Red Cross right in iTunes.

Let’s help together to remedy the terrible situation for the people down there.

Update: In total, Indie+Relief raised over $143k for Haiti relief.

    Wow, congrats guys! Big props to you for staging such a generous act. I’m betting the people of Haiti are individually thanking you in their own personal way for this donation to relief which is so desperately needed right now.

    Keep up the great work.
