One Laptop per Child Association settles in Miami
Names can be confusing at times. Take "One Laptop per Child": should the per be capitalized? This was debated long after logos and t-shirts had been designed. OLPC has included two separate non-profits since its inception:
- A 501c4 association, originally set up to execute the mission of the project (Formally: ONE LAPTOP PER CHILD ASSOCIATION, INC - no acronym, capitalization question avoided via ALL CAPS registration)
- A 501c3 foundation, originally set up to receive tax-deductible donations to support the mission (Formally: OLPC Foundation or OLPCF - acronym, just to make things complicated)
“The computers are only a vehicle. We have 1 billion children worldwide who will never be able to participate in the economy of the 21st century unless a problem like this is solved,” he said. “The only way to do that is to take advantage of digital technology.”
