We Help You, While You Help Others In Need.
|
|
|
At LogixPower we are determined to helping others in need. We as well as our client base help support people ranging from children with special needs, to aiding research in finding
cures for diseases, as well as providing assistance with organizations working on international efforts to create peace and stability.
In a sense, LogixPower is pursuing a unique and innovative approach to helping others in need by bridging the gap between you and those in need.

There are many organizations that raise money through donations and have extensive management and distribution channels. Most of these organizations operate
at many different levels and have a razor sharp focus on one single problem. However, building and managing an organization to raise money and spend it appropriately and wisely
is an expensive and complex proposition.
|
 |
|
| |
On the other hand, we understand from the general public’s stand point, it is a difficult task in today’s busy lifestyle of ours to choose the right organization. The reality is
there are literally thousands of organizations out there, each with their own unique history, strengths and weaknesses. Selecting an organization to support is a bit like playing God. Ideally,
it should take into account your most valued concerns and convictions. |
| |
|
LogixPower works with Non-Profit Organizations like American Institute of Philanthropy (AIP) who have developed a set of criteria and evaluate
major charity organizations on an annual basis.
AIP analyzes the current status of these organizations and helps us determine where the funds would be best allocated. The following is just a sample of
evaluation criteria that are utilized:
|
 |
|
|
|
|
PERCENT SPENT ON CHARITABLE PURPOSE |
| |
This is the portion of total expenses that is spent on charitable programs. In our view, 60% or greater is reasonable for most charities. The remaining percentage is spent
on fundraising and general administration. Note: A 60% program percentage typically indicates a “satisfactory”
or “C range” rating. However most highly efficient charities are able to spend 75% or more on programs rather than administration. |
| |
|
|
|
COST TO RAISE $100 |
| |
This dollar amount reflects how much is spent to raise each $100 of funds collected. In our view, $35 or less to raise $100 is reasonable for most charities. When a range
is given, the lower amount usually reflects the charity’s own decision on how much direct mail and telemarketing costs are bona-fide fundraising expenses. In some cases,
LogixPower adjusts the lower number to reflect its different view on whether an item is a fundraising expense or not. |
| |
|
 |
EXCEPTION FOR SOCIAL WELFARE GROUPS |
| |
The mailings and phone calls of social welfare
groups that are not eligible to receive tax-deductible contributions, may serve
a dual purpose: raising funds and recruiting/educating members to write their
congressman or make other attempts to influence legislation. We count up to 30%
of the cost of such mailings and phone calls as program expenses in its lower
number for “% Spent on Charitable Purpose,” its higher number for “cost to raise
$100” and its overall grade. |
| |
|
|
|
YEARS OF AVAILABLE ASSETS |
| |
This evaluation of assets criteria is based on how long a charity with large reserves of available assets could continue to operate at current levels without any additional
fundraising. In our view, a reserve of less than three years is reasonable and does not affect a group’s grade. |
|
|
| |
|
Charity organizations are rated on the above criteria:
|
| |
|
A = Excellent
|
B = Good
|
|
C = Satisfactory
|
D = Unsatisfactory
|
|
F = Poor
|
? = Insufficient Information
|
|
| |
These ratings help us and our clients selecting the best charity organization of the year. |

| Finding Meaning in the Second Half of Life |
|
If we were going to describe different stages of our lives by using fire as a metaphor,
we would realize that there comes a time when the flame of the fire
has settled into a comfortable glow.
The fire is stable, burning warmly, but at the same time, is not in danger of going out anytime soon.
A bank of coals still lies at the base of the fire. The base is white hot and very powerful. The fire at this
stage is now ready to give back great heat and light to others for some time to come.
It is at this point in our lives where we are best able to foster and nurture the development of humanitarian efforts.
It is the firm belief of LogixPower that the legacy we leave behind is not of our own, but the legacy we build together
to help others in need.
|

|
The Founders of LogixPower are technology veterans with years of experience working for companies like Microsoft and
other market leaders in the Information Technology field and are determined providing a unique way of helping those in need
without raising money the traditional way for charity organizations. This unique and innovation approach is our way of
finding the Meaning of Life and spreading hope across the globe. |
|
|
|
Here is how we come in to help out and how we are different from others:
|
|
|
1)
|
LogixPower does not raise money through the traditional avenues like donations, telemarketing etc. Instead we rely on
raising money by providing much needed products and services in the field of Information
Technology. We at LogixPower have come to realize that we don’t have to throw out everything
we have learned so far. Instead we can use our experiences for greater causes and find a meaning in the second half of our lives.
|
| |
|
|
2)
|
A portion of the net proceeds of our products and services provide the resources needed to help
unfortunate children and others in need.
|
| |
|
|
3)
|
LogixPower does not try to recruit and build yet another army of people for mailing,
telemarketing and distribution channels of the funds. Instead we use the developed criteria to cheery pick the best charity organizations
out there and rely on their existing management and
channels to distribute the funds directly where it is needed the most.
|
|
|
|
|
4)
|
To make your decision even easier, when you place an order with us, we present you a list of
areas that you deeply care and are concerned about. We at LogixInfo then translate that into
one specific charity and/or Non-Profit Organization in that area and route the funds to them
according to your desire.

|
We also understand that as you go through the journey of your life, you may change your
convictions and want to change where the net proceeds of your orders will flow. Fortunately,
LogixPower allows you to change that once a year making sure we are all on the same page.
|
| |
|
|
6)
|
At the beginning of each year, you will receive an email from us informing you which Non-Profit
