What if you could donate a penny to JA just for doing an internet search? What if you could donate a percentage of your purchase price every time you shop online, at no cost whatsoever to you?
You can! Junior Achievement of Michiana is registered with GoodSearch (a major search engine powered by Yahoo) and GoodShop (with links to hundreds of online stores). All you have to do is visit the GoodSearch/Goodshop sites, choose Junior Achievement of Michiana as the organization you wish to recieve the donation, and click "verify." Most people only have to choose the organization on the first search or shopping trip; after that, it will come up automatically when you return to the site.
Now, GoodSearch has made it even easier by customizing a toolbar just for Junior Achievement of Michiana!

In this tough economic climate, these choices enable you to support JA's economic literacy programs at no cost to yourself, just by doing something you would anyway!
Though we always urge visitors to support their local economies by buying from merchants in their own areas, if you are going to shop online anyway, we'd appreciate it if you check out the list of online stores participating in GoodShop -- which include Ebay, Amazon.com, Barnes & Noble.com, Target, Staples, Travelocity, and about 500 more!

 GoodSearch/GoodShop Details:
Download JA of Michiana's GoodSearch toolbar
Our new Junior Achievement of Michiana toolbar is free to download and allows you to raise money for JA every time you search or shop online! Once added to Internet Explorer (IE) or Firefox, each time you shop at more than 1,300 stores (from Amazon to Zazzle!) a percentage of your purchase will automatically be donated to JA of Michiana (and you may even save money as the toolbar provides coupons and deals as well!). The toolbar also has a search box and each time you search the Internet using it, about a penny is donated to us.
