A volunteer employee Review Committee checks each applicant’s compliance with nLogic nAbles requirements, carefully reviews the application for completeness, and performs a site visit to the applying charity to ensure that is a reputable, business-like operation. The candidates’ information is then posted on this website for nLogic employees to review. Each nLogic employee who is a contributor to nLogic nAbles then casts one secret vote for their preferred candidate. A simple majority of votes designates the winning candidate and they are presented the grant at an awards ceremony.
nLogic nAbles financial information is normally included in our All Hands Presentation and our nLogic nAbles Bulletins. These items will be posted on our website and thus are available to our employees and to the general public.
