Search and Give FAQs

What is Search and Give?
Search and Give is a fundraising program that provides participating schools with a
free and automatic way to raise money. The Microsoft program, supported by Scholastic Inc., is powered by Live Search and allows supporters to donate to the school of their choice. When a supporter performs a search at www.searchandgive.com, their
school earns a ticket. Based on the amount of tickets a school’s supporters generate,
Microsoft will make a donation to that school. Your school’s active supporters are
the key to Search and Give’s success. The more active supporters your school has,
the more searches; and the more searches done, the more rewards your school
receives.* Each search means money for your school.  How much can each school earn?
The amount of money each school raises depends on the number of searches done
by its supporters. Although the donation amount from each search is small, the searches and tickets quickly add up!
Are there any costs?
No enrollment fees or costs of any kind are involved with this program. There are no hidden commitments, and participation is completely voluntary.
What do supporters have to do to participate?
All they have to do is sign up and search.  Anyone who searches the Internet can quickly and easily sign up at  www.searchandgive.com to support the school of his or her choice. When a registered supporter does a search on www.searchandgive.com, Microsoft will automatically donate a ticket to the school’s account.* Only searches done on the Search and Give Web site will generate tickets. Supporters should make sure that they are signed in and that the top of the search page says Search and Give.
