Hi everyone,
I discovered a wonderful way to raise funds for Orphans' Heroes that
requires very little time from my friends and family, and absolutely no
expense.
The concept is very much like other click for a good cause websites -- but
uses a search engine -- which we all do nearly every day anyway.
The name of the company is goodsearch.com. It is powered by Yahoo. Search
engines make about 8 billion dollars a year from their advertisers. The
founder of goodsearch.com is committed to donating 50% of their profits to
registered nonprofits.
Here's how you can help:
1. For convenience, set goodsearch.com in your browser preference panel to
be the search engine window that comes up when you log onto the internet.
2. Under "Who do you goodsearch for?" type in Orphans Heroes and then press
the yellow "verify" button to the right. If your cookies are set in your
preferences then your computer will remember your selection every time you
log on until you empty your cache (and then you will need to enter Orphans'
Heroes again.)
3. Now every time you do a text search (images and videos don't count) $.01
will be donated to Orphans' Heroes.
It's that simple.
You can even keep track of the amount of money raised for Orphans' Heroes
and see a demonstration of how quickly the money will add up if many people
participate (click on the yellow "amount raised" button to view this chart).
So, please ask all of your friends and family to participate as the number
of people clicking, and the number of clicks will greatly affect our
potential to raise money.
Also, offered by goodsearch.com is GoodShop. Right above where you enter
your search parameters is a tab called "shopping." This will take you to
the GoodShop. All of the biggest stores where you do your online shopping
anyway -- Gap, Amazon, eBay, Barnes & Nobles, Lands' End, iTunes, Target,
among many others -- participate in GoodShop. If you enter the store
through the GoodShop site (rather than going directly to their websites)
they will automatically donate a percentage of every order you place to
Orphans' Heroes. When buying through these sites, the purchase prices are
NOT raised. All items are the same exact price as on the regular store
websites, so the buyer's costs are the same. You will see underneath the
name of the store the percentage the store has agreed to donate to your
charity.
Please take a few moments to change your browser to
http://www.goodsearch.com, select Orphans¹ Heroes, and then search as your
normally do. Your clicks will bring lots of smiles to some very needy
children in far off places where many don¹t even have the opportunity to sit
at a computer and make a choice as to what browser they would like to use.
And, please pass this along to as many people in your address book as you
can.
Thanks so much for your support!
Warmly,
Jen
