Here's a 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!
