::: Which charities and why? :::

We want to work with charities and non-profits that are very active and influential in creating change and alleviating poverty. To start with, we have decided to focus on Africa needs and Boston needs. In the future, we may dedicate some profits towards Asia or other areas of the world where third-world countries are in need. We are based in Boston and are involved with Boston charities and groups and have a large heart for them, so we want to keep them as a focus as well. We will be inviting charities to our events to set up booths to create awareness and raise funds for there causes. We will also continue to promote them on this site and through email blasts and marketing efforts!

We are currently beginning to decide which charities we want to work with and talk to them about details. The charities that we are personally familiar with and support are listed below, but they are not set in stone. If you work for or are involved with a charity or non-profit that you think we should work with and/or consider donating to, please email colin@nectic.com.

To start with, 50% of profits (not proceeds, which is mistakenly printed on some of the promotional business cards) go to charity:

  • 25% to a local charity, possibly the Boston Food Bank and/or Boston Cares.

  • 25% to an international charity, focusing on African relief at the beginning, possibly Child Voice International and/or Blood:Water Mission.

  • The other 50% of proceeds goes towards expansion and investing in new options. These percentages may change over time depending on the needs of nectic or the needs of particular charities.
