Additional Ways to Give

The success of the Michigan Nature Association relies on the support of people like you to accomplish our mission. In addition to becoming a member or renewing your membership, there are a number of ways you can help MNA just by continuing to do what you already do, like searching the internet, making a phone call or purchasing something online

Shop online at iGive.com
How iGive works:

•Register with iGive at www.iGive.com/MNA
•Shop at any of the brand name online stores through the iGive mall, which features more than 700 stores, including: eBay, Lands' End, Cabela’s, Barnes & Noble, Home Depot, Best Buy, Amazon.com, Eddie Bauer, L.L. Bean, and many, many more 
•A percentage of each online purchase is automatically contributed to MNA

And iGive is more than shopping for a cause – it saves you money.  As an iGive shopper, you’ll have access to exclusive coupon codes, free shipping deals, and sale alerts.

It’s free, it’s easy, and every purchase you make generates a contribution to MNA.  Plus, when you shop within 45 days of registering, iGive will donate an extra $5 to MNA.  So, as the holidays approach and many of you turn to your computer to do some online shopping, change online shopping for good. . . go to www.iGive.com/MNA.

Use Good Search to search the internet
GoodSearch is a search engine which donates 50% of its revenue to the charities designated by its users. It's a simple and compelling concept. . . you use GoodSearch exactly as you would any other search engine and because it's powered by Yahoo!, you get proven search results.  Using GoodSearch costs you nothing, but earns MNA about one penny per search.

To get started:

• Go to www.GoodSearch.com
• Enter “Michigan Nature Association” as your charity in the box titled “Who do you GoodSearch for?” and click “Verify”
• You can then use the toolbar to perform your search 

Please note that GoodSearch will only be active for your current internet session or until you close out of your current browser window.  When you open a new browser window or start a new internet session, you will have to go back to www.GoodSearch.com.  To circumvent this, MNA suggests that you go one step further by either:

• Adding GoodSearch to your Internet Explorer, Firefox, or Mac toolbar; or
• Making GoodSearch your homepage

By doing this, you can be assured that each time you search the internet, you’re contributing money to MNA.
