From now until June 20th
Don't try to tell me games are evil, man! Online Chinese retailer RenChi is sure doing a lot of good, helping out with the victims of that earthquake in China you've probably heard about on commercial news networks (at five million affected, it's no small deal, but I'll leave that to those networks to provide you with the details, if you're so inclined).
The company pledges to donate 10% of its profits from now until June 20th to the Hong Kong World Vision Sichuan Earthquake Relief (this is carried out by World Vision, of course). There are a ton of purchase options as well, so don't think it's credit card exclusive or something.
The site says they chose WV because "they have pledged to allocate 100% of donations for the relief work." As is my understanding, they've always been one of the best charities out there, giving away one of the highest percentages of their donations to the actual causes.

It's nice to see when commerce bolsters actually really positive effects, so props to RenChi for caring. They seem like a really good company too; the site reads: "we are professional and serious about keeping customers happy." How nice.
