I was approached several weeks ago by a good friend of FCA, and board member in Oklahoma, Hal Clifford, about a fund raising opportunity for FCA like nothing I’ve ever seen. Yahoo is giving nonprofit/ministry organizations, like FCA, an opportunity to raise NEW financial support. Let me try to explain.
This is a unique way for friends/supporters of Panhandle FCA to help fund our organization all using other people's money. But don't worry. There's no buying or selling to do because it's all based on something you're probably already doing: Surfing the net. Or, more specifically, searching the net. How can your web searches make money for our organization? Businesses place their ads with the big search engine companies (think Yahoo). But instead of paying for each ad when it is placed with the search company, as they would with traditional media, they pay only when someone clicks on their advertisement. And we've teamed up with a group that will divert a small amount of those payments directly to our program. It's called the Fund-It/Benefit Bar, and here's how it works:
You simply download a special version of the Yahoo search bar to your browser. It doesn't bring any kind of spyware with it, and you won't start getting a bunch of spam as a result either. And, if it slows your computer down at all, it's going to be very slight. So far, I haven't met anyone who has found it a problem. Then, whenever you do a search, just do it through that search bar. If you see something of interest in the search results—one of those top-of-the-page or side-of-the page entries that are clearly the ads--just click on it. And Panhandle FCA gets ten cents. Do it again--we get paid again. A Dime Every Time!
What I want you to do, right now, is to take a closer look at
