Good Maker

This week we are getting to vote for projects we want to see happen. Good Maker is a tool of Good’s to reward individuals and organizations with the best ideas. How it works is that an organization creates a challenge that drives meaningful impact than people submit their ideas and after all ideas are brought in the community votes on the idea they believe meets the challenge the best. The idea with the most votes wins and receives the money to help make their idea happen. You all come in at the voting, although I would also tell you to take a look and possibly submit your own idea. There are many different challenges that you can vote for and all you have to do to vote is sign up to be a member of Good. When you sign up you can also choose to get a daily e-mail. So this week when you have a few minutes when you aren’t watching the Olympics head on over to Good Maker and vote for some projects you want to see happen. Happy voting!

Until next week,

Annie

P.S. I want to do an Olympic post next week so if you have any ideas let me know!

Bing.com

This week’s entry is really fun because it involves a search engine that does so much more! Bing.com has created a rewards system that when you sign up you can get points by searching the internet but also by learning more about Bing and all it has to offer. Once you have points, and more importantly why I’m telling you about it, you can get rewards. Some of the rewards are to donate your points to not-for-profits like DonorsChoose.org, Boys and Girls Club, Kids in Need Foundation, etc. So this week when you have some down time and want to do some learning or need to search for something on the internet head on over to Bing.com and sign up for the rewards program. It’s easy and can get you started on your way to helping others! Happy Searching!

Until next week,

Annie

The Trevor Project

Sorry for the hiatus but I’m back! This week’s post does not take much however it is a Facebook one (Sorry I know there are a lot these days however Facebook lets people help out!).  Esurance has teamed up with The Trevor Project and is donating $5 to them for every profile pic that is added to the NTL (Need to Talk Live) Movement. It is very easy, all you have to do is upload your photo and $5 will be donated to The Trevor Project (up to $50k). The Trevor Project is a wonderful organization that provides crisis intervention and suicide prevention to LGBTQ youth. So this week when you are on Facebook and have a couple minutes head over to the Esurance NTL Movement site and upload your photo.

Until next week,

Annie
