Children in Poverty Win When You Search Kindly

Web Team — Mon, 05 May 2008 11:51:31 +0000

Here’s something very easy you can do to help children in poverty.

Use Search Kindly as your search engine during May. (It’s powered by Google.)

Thanks to your votes, Compassion will receive 100 percent of Search Kindly’s ad revenue for the month of May. Their goal is $1,000, but we’re hoping for more than that. How’s that for transparency? And how about $2,500 as a goal?

There’s a thermometer on their homepage where they show how much money has been generated so far. Right now, we’re at $84.

Here’s how it works:

More eyeballs = more money = more children helped.

More advertising revenue is generated from unique visits than from frequent visits. What that means is the “Money Thermometer” goes up more quickly for each new pair of eyes that view the site than it does for repeat visits, but the keywords there are “more quickly”. Repeat visits definitely help!

For those of you who get a bit overwhelmed at the technical side of all this web stuff, like some of us on the Web Team here’s your To Do list.

Use Search Kindly as your search engine.

That’s it.

A Thousand Thanks

Web Team — Mon, 28 Apr 2008 06:09:02 +0000

We asked, and you responded. Mille grazie! A thousand thanks. Actually, 2,618 thanks. That’s how many votes we received.

It doesn’t look like SearchKindly will reach its goal of raising $1,000 this month, so far the donation thermometer reads $682, but we’re still glad they included us in their voting.

You can help advance the work they’re doing by telling your family and friends about them. The more people who view the ads on their site, the more ad revenue that gets generated and donated. That’s how it works.

Will You Help Us …

Web Team — Mon, 21 Apr 2008 15:28:44 +0000

Will you help us say thank you to Tammy Chalfant, who organized the first ever Compassion Sunday event at Farmland Friends Church (FFC)?

71 children now have sponsors.

Please tell Tammy and her pastor, Kris Sorensen, how much you appreciate their work.

And Shaun Groves too. He spoke at the event, and he’s a TIRELESS advocate for children in poverty.

Then, take a hop over to SearchKindly.org and help us win $1,000!

SearchKindly is a non-profit organization that donates 100% of its ad revenue to charity. This month Compassion is competing against four other charities for the donation. And right now, we’re in SECOND place with $500 on the table. But the amount goes up every time someone visits the website.

Please visit, and please vote. The contest ends “sometime” on Sunday, April 27.

Help us win!
Vote every 8 hours.
And help us set a record for how much SearchKindly donates.
