The Oklahoma 4-H Foundation now has an innovative painless way to raise money and YOU can help.

What if the Oklahoma 4-H Foundation earned a penny every time you searched the Internet? Well, now we can!

GoodSearch.com is a new search engine that donates half its revenue, about a penny per search, to the charities its users designate. You use it just as you would any search engine, and it’s powered by Yahoo!, so you get great results.

GoodSearch is a Yahoo-powered search engine with a unique social mission. We give 50% of our advertising revenue to the nonprofits and schools that our users choose. You and your supporters can make a difference in the lives of many just by changing the way you search the Internet!

Here's an example of how much you can help 4H earn:

· 100 supporters search the internet just twice a day = $730/year

· 1,000 supporters search the internet just twice a day = $7300/year

· 1,000 supporters search the internet just five times a day = $18,250/ year

Spread the Word!

You can share this opportunity with all your friends and coworkers. There is no limit to the number of people who can participate. All you do is use the Good Search tool bar instead of some other search engine, and Yahoo will give you the same service all other customers get, and you are raising money for 4-H. We receive one penny for every search you make. While that does not seem like much, think what would happen if only 1000 people did an average of 5 searches a day. That would generate over $18,000 in one year!

Just go to www.goodsearch.com and be sure to enter Oklahoma 4-H Foundation as the charity you want to support.

http://www.goodsearch.com/

When you get to the good search page you will find a box about half way down that says: “I’m Supporting”

Fill in Oklahoma 4-H Foundation and hit verify. You may get a dialog box that has a variety of Oklahoma organizations, but you can verify by going down the list to Oklahoma 4-H Foundation. Click on that and you are ready to proceed.

Next add the Good Search tool bar to your internet browser by clicking on the link below the “I’m Supporting” box that matches your internet system

Add GoodSearch to your IE, Firefox, or Mac toolbar

You will see a big sign that says “download now” in the middle of the page, and click that and follow the directions until it downloads.

You will have to close all your other internet browser windows before you can download this tool bar.

Once it has downloaded you will see a new toolbar right under all your other toolbars. It will have the good search logo on it, and on the right side it should say Oklahoma 4-H Foundation as your charity. If not, you can put that in at that point.

Or if you are ready to join the fun, you can just add the toolbar and indicate your supporting 4-H Foundation on the toolbar.

Once you have done this, the 4-H Foundation will continue to benefit every time you use the Good Search tool bar for your internet searches.

If you encounter any trouble keeping the 4-H Foundation in the “I’m Supporting” box it may mean that you have a “cookie” that is causing a problem, and you can ask us to assist in cleaning that up.

"4-H is a community of young people from across Oklahoma who are learning leadership, citizenship and life skills."
