The project works by selling spare home computing power to universities and corporations, then sharing the profits between eight partner charities and periodic cash prize draws for the users; those running the Charity Engine BOINC software on their home computers.

The company was founded by former journalist Mark McAndrew, who was writing a science fiction novel featuring a similar organisation.
