More on One Laptop per Child

In a post today on Teleread, they outlined the extra incentives for purchasing 'many' laptops:

Trying to be helpful, take a look at the new and improved Give Many XO plan. Gone is the tiered pricing of $299, $249, and $200 depending on order size. Now anyone, who can get through to One Laptop Per Child, can order 100+ XO laptops at $200 per computer and direct their donation:
  • Give 100+ @ $200 per laptop
    Donor designates where 60% of laptops are sent;
    OLPC sends 40% of the laptops to children in a country of our designation.
  • Give 1000+ @ $200 per laptop
    Donor designates where 80% of laptops are sent;
    OLPC uses 20% of the laptops to children in a country of our designation.
  • Give 10,000+ @ $200 per laptop
    Donor designates where 100% of laptops are sent.


With the low $20,000 donation threshold and $200 per laptop price point, there should be a few more people excited and able to Give Many this Christmas.
