New Fund Raising opportunity - and all you have to do is shop!
Support UMBS Every time you buy something from Amazon

AmazonSmile is a website operated by Amazon that lets customers enjoy the same wide selection of products, low prices, and convenient shopping features as on Amazon.com. The difference is that when you shop on AmazonSmile (smile.amazon.com), the AmazonSmile Foundation will donate 0.5% of the price of eligible purchases to the charitable organization you select.
UMBS has registered so all you have to do is shop!  It is important to remember that you cannot go to Amazon.com as you have in the past – you must go to smile.amazon.com to do your shopping.

How does AmazonSmile work?
When first visiting AmazonSmile, you will be prompted to select a charitable organization.
For eligible purchases at AmazonSmile, the AmazonSmile Foundation will donate 0.5% of the purchase price to the customer’s selected charitable organization.

So next time you shop, please support UMBS

Great way for UMBS to earn income for our Education Fund!!!
And it's FREE for the user!

Have you checked out GOODSEARCH.COM?
Goodsearch.com is an internet search engine, similar to Google.  There is one BIG difference.  Goodsearch donates one cent, to the group of your choice, for every search! No strings attached.
I know that doesn’t sound like much, but I’ve raised over $15 for UMBS (and I don’t always remember to use it).
UMBS is a registered group on Goodsearch.  When you go to the Goodsearch.com website you can register and designate UMBS as your designated organization and start the donations with your first search. 
All profits from Goodsearch are put in the Education Fund of UMBS.
If each of our members joined Goodsearch – even part of the time – think about the money we can raise for classes, workshops, etc.!
GIVE IT A TRY!
