Raise Funds for CVoH with Good Search and Good Shop


There is a great new way to help raise funds for CVoH with hardly any effort! CVoH just signed up for Good Search and Good Shop and now you can too and raise funds on behalf of CVoH. How does it work? Good Search is a web browser powered by Yahoo that makes a donation to your cause of choice for each search that you do. The donation per search is around 1 penny, but just imagine how much it could add up to if we all work together! 

Good Shop is a collaboration with most major online retailers that provides a donation to your cause of choice each time you make a purchase at one of the partnering retailers. The donation is usually a percentage of the total purchase price and how big it is depends on the retailer. With the holiday shopping season coming up we could all contribute to CVoH at the same time as we purchase gifts for friends and loved ones.

To get started with Good Search and Good Shop go to www.goodsearch.com and follow the instructions to register. Once you are registered then download the toolbar which will make contributing as easy as can be. After the toolbar is installed choose Childrens Villages of Honduras as your charity. Then use the search box on it for your internet searches and whenever you visit a partnering retailer online the toolbar will flash and show you how much the donation is for that site. With the toolbar installed you are set to have your purchases contribute to CVoH – nothing else needs to be done!

Thanks to all who take a few moments to make a lasting impact!
