Institute's Mobile Apps Are Built By Hands of Those with Autism CIO.com: Called the nonPareil Institute (for "no equal"), the company builds apps for iPhone and Android phones and PCs. The 11 staffers provide 80 students who are on the autism spectrum , which includes Asperger's Syndrome, technical training and help adjusting to a work environment.
The students, ranging in age from their early 20s to mid-50s, and staff have already launched NPISarobon, an abacus-like app for 99 cents available on the App Store for iPad . Two new apps, Card Tracker and Number Tap, are about to be launched in the App Store. NPISarbon was conceived and coded by Cheryl O'Brien, a student at the institute who is now a staff programmer.

Who is Corporate Philanthropy for? Arundhati Roy Says It’s Not Who You Think - NPQ – Nonprofit Quarterly - Promoting an active an engaged democracy.
Who is Corporate Philanthropy for? Arundhati Roy Says It’s Not Who You Think - NPQ – Nonprofit Quarterly - Promoting an active an engaged democracy.: For India, “Trickledown hasn’t worked,” Roy writes. “But Gush-Up certainly has.” And it’s not just Roy’s analysis that makes this piece worthy of your time. It’s also her utterly stunning prose. Take, for instance, this passage: “As Gush-Up concentrates wealth on to the tip of a shining pin on which our billionaires pirouette, tidal waves of money crash through the institutions of democracy—the courts, Parliament as well as the media, seriously compromising their ability to function in the ways they are meant to. The noisier the carnival around elections, the less sure we are that democracy really exists.”
Roy’s analysis moves from the influence of corporate India to the dynamics of the Indian political system, and from the nation’s corporate-serving military apparatus to the topic of “Corporate Philanthropy” (Roy’s capitalization). The latter should be of much interest to the nonprofit sector, be it in the U.S. or abroad.
