We have a "Leanpub for Causes" program that achieves this. Here's an example:
In order to get this to work, first, the cause needs to sign up here and be approved by Leanpub:
https://leanpub.com/causes
To be clear, an official representative of the cause (which needs to be a registered non-profit or charity) needs to fill out the application.

Otherwise, the best option would be to make it clear in your book's "teaser" (this appears right under the title, on the book's landing page) and/or your book's subtitle and the "About the Book" information, that your intention is to give 100% of your royalties to a charity. But in that case, the pricing sliders would still show "Author Earns."
OK, that's it!

I am interested in self publishing a book with Leanpub. I don't want to profit from the book - I want the profits to go to charity. Would it be possible to have it say 'Charity Gets' instead of 'Author Earns' when people go to purchase the book? http://help.leanpub.com/en/articles/2543242-i-am-interested-in-self-publishing-a-book-with-leanpub-i-don-t-want-to-profit-from-the-book-i-want-the-profits-to-go-to-charity-would-it-be-possible-to-have-it-say-charity-gets-instead-of-author-earns-when-people-go-to-purchase-the-book #books #writing #selfpublishing #leanpub
