both goodsearch and igive are sites that give money to non profit organizations based on activity on their site. Goodsearch is simply a search engine. For every search done the charity gets .01. It is paid out every year in december if the organization has made at least $20.00. Igive is an online shopping site that does the same thing. If you buy from online stores like sears walmart etc. you can have them send a portion of those sales to your favorite charity. Both are very good site and trusted.

These are some Great tips and ideas anyone could benefit from for sure. I have done Fund Raiser's etc. in the past, and even though they can be a lot of work to make sure they run smoothly, and money is raised from them, they can also be a lot of Fun as well. For me, it takes finding the right people interested in what you're wanting to accomplish and then going from there to make sure it happens as well.

It sure does take the right people! If you get volunteers that are just volunteers and are not very passionate about what the money is being raised for. Then they will not enjoy it as much. and not have the right attitude.

I see someone has already mentioned www.goodsearch.com. It is a great site. If you don't see the charity you want the money raised for, you can send it in for the website to add it. I entered my church, and because it is a non profit organization we can raise money for it that way, through searches. Your article is meticulously researched, and the details provided are very precise. I think you offer a lot of good ideas, several of which I never would have thought of. It is always best to be prepared, especially when something as important as a charity function is on the line.
