How likely would you be to pay a slightly higher cost for your business card if 20% of the cost is donated to a charity of your choice?

I am currently in the start up phase of my new business and am trying to work out the price schedule for the business cards I will offer. Basically, professionals and businesses can select a non-profit from the list I will provide (depending on the non-profit's approval for use of their logo) and on the back of the business card, it will say "We proudly support: (Logo of non-profit). 20% of the purchase (before taxes and shipping) will then be donated to the non-profit on their behalf. I found a great printing company to work with (100% wind-powered and made in USA along with GREAT customer service) but the profit margin won't leave me much to work with after I submit the 20%. I'd love to hear feedback from other professionals on whether or not they would pay a bit more for this type of business card, or if a higher cost would deter the purchase. Please keep in mind that the business cards are an expense write-off (they cannot be a charitable deduction though). I appreciate your feedback!
