Good Search
TCCR has officially registered with GoodSearch, a Yahoo!-powered search engine that gives our supporters a chance to raise money each time they search the Internet of shop online. TCCR earns about a penny per search to help our efforts in building a green-collar economy in Trinidad, Northeast. Similarly, GoodShop.com, a new online shopping mall, donates up to 37 percent of each purchase. A shopper may select from hundreds of stores including Amazon, Target, Gap, Best Buy, ebay, Macy’s and Barnes & Noble and for every order placed, the designated cause benefits. And, it doesn’t cost the users anything!
Our goal is to earn $10,000 through the site this year which will go towards our building fund for our green job training and placement center. Once renovations are complete, we finally have a home-base for our programs and operations after 15 years of service. This former liquor store will be a symbol of our vision to change Trinidad from a drug community to a garden community as we know with it we will be able to provide and inspire a stable economy, education, and environment for our young people. Imagine a facility where people can learn to be prepared for all the job opportunities being created by the redevelopment of the Florida Avenue Market or the new Walt Disney Co. hotel being built at the National Harbor in Prince George’s County.
TCCR is excited about the prospects of fundraising with GoodSearch. The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation which has earned more than $10,000; The ASPCA which has raised more than $23,000; and The Bubel/Aiken Foundation which supports children with disabilities and has earned more than $12,000.
