For those who aren't familiar with iGive, it is easy to raise funds for your favorite charity/shelter/halfway house/sanctuary/etc. and at no extra cost to you. All you do is sign up and pick your favorite organization then shop the iGive on-line merchants (which are many that you may already be shopping with) and a percentage of every sale goes to your charity. Some of the shops listed that you may already order from are dog.com, ferret.com, amazon.com, expedia and many others! You are not required to shop for your chosen organization to get the new supporter bonus, only to join and do one search through iGive. Doesn't cost you anything more than a few minutes time and it earns $1 for your chosen organization so please register on iGive and pick a charity. There are several ferret organizations listed. Ferret Family Services has been listed with iGive since their beginning and each year we get a check, usually for about $30.00. This is our link: http://www.igive.com/welcome/warm_reg_promo.cfm?m=58395 For each person who joins iGive using the special link and does just one qualified web search on the site between now and noon. Thursday, September 30, 2010 (Chicago time), we'll give Ferret Family Services a dollar. Share this e-mail now if you care to help Ferret Family Services. 5,000 new members, $5,000. No purchase necessary. We hope that it'll turn into much more, as these new members shop and search during the holidays. If these new members search more (or buy something at an iGive store) they'll earn even more money for Ferret Family Services. Right now, we're donating a $.01 per search and a bonus $5 for that first purchase plus the usual percentage. Here's where you come in. The only way Ferret Family Services will get new supporters and that free $1+ is if you invite them. Send your friends, family, and colleagues the following link in an e-mail, tweet it, do a Facebook posting, put up posters, shout from mountain tops (you know the drill) and let them know you think Ferret Family Services is pretty cool and deserves their support, especially since it's free! You can even just forward this e-mail. This is our link: http://www.igive.com/welcome/warm_reg_promo.cfm?m=58395 tle www.ferretfamilyservices.org [Posted in FML 6836]
