Here is a FREE and easy way to support CGI without writing a check!

 

GoodSearch.com

 

Imagine if CGI earned a penny every time you searched the Internet. Or how about if a percentage of every purchase you made online went to support the Center? Well, now it can!

 

GoodSearch.com is a new Yahoo-powered search engine that donates half of its advertising revenue, about a penny per search, to the charities its users designate. Use it just as you would any search engine, get quality search results from Yahoo, and watch the donations add up! You can even add it as a tool bar if you’d like.

 

GoodShop.com is a new online shopping mall that donates up to 37 percent of each purchase to your favorite cause! Hundreds of great stores including Amazon, Target, Gap, Best Buy, eBay, Macy's and Barnes & Noble have teamed up with GoodShop. Every time you place an order, you'll be supporting the work of CGI.

 

Just go to www.goodsearch.com and be sure to enter Center for Global Initiatives as the charity you want to support, or click on the links to the right. And, of course, be sure to spread the word!

Flight Discounts


www.flyforgood.com

 

If you are volunteering on a CGI project you may qualify for discounted roundtrip airfare. Airlines select routes around the world that are common for humanitarian travelers and discount them based upon season and availability.

 

Some routes do not have discounted fares. Also, there are no discounted rates on domestic travel. In these cases, Travel for Good searches for the lowest published fare they can find so you can still get a great price on your airfare with the backing of the Fly for Good service team.
