Good Search - New easy fund raiser using everyday internet searches

We now have a new way of raising money for NUMC that is easy, free, and does not require any additional work by anyone. There is a search engine called Good Search that gives one-half of its earnings to charitable organizations such as ours. They make their money through advertising, and pass along one-half of it to the organizations chosen by the searcher. That works out to about a penny per search. They keep track of the number of searches and send us a check at the end of the year. If you use a  computer, you probably do lots of searches. You probably have mostly used Google and like it. But by switching to Good Search, we get paid for searching. They use the Yahoo search engine, which is also highly rated, so you will still find what you want.

It is easy. Just go to www.goodsearch.com. You will see a box to select your charitable organization. Type in Novi and several organizations with novi in their name will appear. Click on Novi United Methodist Church to select it, then do your search as usual using their search box on the same page. Please allow the cookies and the next time you go to goodsearch.com, Novi United Methodist Church will already be selected for you, saving a step.

After you have selected us, you can, if you wish, click on the button that says "amount raised" to see how much we have earned to date.

Many of us when we search do so from within our internet explorer or firefox browsers, using the built in search boxes. You can easily add goodsearch to the search engine choices in your browser, and even set goodsearch as the default browser. Just go to http://www.goodsearch.com/toolbars.aspx for easy instructions. You can just add goodsearch to the browser's search choices or you can download a search toolbar.

Which ever way you choose, to search from their site, or to search from within your browser, we will get the money, as long as you have allowed the cookies. Do your first search from their site to set the cookie, and from the first cookie on, we will get paid no matter which way you use goodsearch.

I have already tried it and added it to my browsers. It really is easy, the money earned shows up on their site immediately.

There will also be a link to goodsearch on our website umcnovi.com so you will have many ways of accessing goodsearch.  It will be under the News & Events tab under Fund Raisers.

We need all the funds we can get. This is free and easy. Please use it whenever you search. We get paid for all text searches, but not for image searches.

If you have any problems with it or have any questions about it, please contact Howard Kahn.
