How much do you know about Search and Give?

Search and Give is our way of giving back to the community – each time a user conducts a search from the www.searchandgive.com  page Microsoft will donate a penny to a selected charity, school or community organization.

Since September 2007 we have raised  over $314, 000 and users can select from over 900,000 charities or schools.

No longer part of the Live Search Club, Search and Give has a new home, its own destination with a new clean look and feel.  It is an exciting redesign. www.searchandgive.com

The new site officially went live last week and we are thrilled with the early results!  We have already tripled the number of unique users and search queries.


There are a few new features to call out: 

  • More money donated –  Your designated charity gets one-cent just for looking for things online – now with up to 500 searches per person a month.
  • Over 1 million organizations –  We’ve grown our list of eligible organizations to more than 1 million.  We’ve also made it easier to find them with a new UI that allows for faster lookup by name, EIN or quick picks. 
  • Watch your community grow –  Track your donations, the total donations, and the total number of contributors for your chosen organization, and experience being a part of the community of giving. 

So we are asking for your help to make this program an even greater success by sharing this information with your friends and family today .  Please:-

1. sign up for www.searchandgive.com today and identify the non-profit, school or church of your choice.   Bookmark the site so that you conduct your searches from search and give and watch the donations add up!  

2. Tell 10 friends today!

Our hope, is to see this program grow exponentially thus we can redistribute some of the dollars coming into search to the local schools and charities that YOU are passionate about supporting.
