"We are flattered and humbled that our efforts have
been recognized by SPI. Being an Associate Project under SPI opens
doors for us that had recently been closed and it brings our effort
into a national awareness. It further aids our donors as they are
assured receipt of donation letters for tax purposes. This allows
corporations to freely donate the hardware we so badly need to do
what we do.
"We no longer have to devote our resources to administrating a
non profit organization as Software in the Public Interest acts as
our agent in this matter. We can devote our short resources to the
matter at hand, and that is getting computers to kids that could
not normally afford them. This weekend alone, we have 7 installs
scheduled.
"This doesn't change things for our regular donors, the link to
our donation site is about the only thing that has changed. When
you click the donation link on our websites, it will take you to
our dedicated donation page for SPI. Your donations still come to
The HeliOS Project, those funds are now simply assured a tax
deductibility letter of receipt through SPI, should you require
one. That link should morph into the SPI page link shortly."
