As in, for e.g. if you're selling wheelchairs and you donate a % of your earnings to elderly homes / special needs centers.

Is there generally a recommended sum for this sort of things? I'm thinking of donating 5% of my monthly earnings to a charity that's related to my industry. I'm thinking of doing 10% but that would eat away too much of the profits for the inventory.

Also, if I donate, do I need to state the donated percentage on my website and show some kind of proof?
