More Great Efforts in Response to the Oil Crisis

Monday, June 21st, 2010

Last week, we blogged about the National Wildlife Federation (NWF)—an organization that is working tirelessly to reverse the effects of the disastrous oil spill. As mentioned, one easy way to make a difference is to select NWF as a supported cause in your GlobalMojo browser.

Another option is to head down to the Gulf yourself!

CNN has rounded up several organizations—including NWF—that are actively recruiting volunteers to take part in restoration efforts. These organizations include:

· The Audubon Society

· The Nature Conservancy

· Alabama Coastal Foundation

· Mobile Baykeeper

· Save Our Seabirds

· Greater New Orleans Foundation

· Coalition to Restore Coastal Louisiana

· United Way

Check out the article for additional organizations, descriptions of their efforts and contact information. It’s a great resource for anybody looking to volunteer on the ground.

Can’t make it down to the Gulf, but still want to help?

Consider adding any one of the organizations listed above as a supported cause in your GlobalMojo browser at http://globalmojo.com/causes/search. Every time you browse the Internet, you will be generating revenue for organizations responding to the crisis.

The Nature Conservancy

Announcing “100% For the Holidays”!

Monday, November 30th, 2009

SEATTLE – American charities have weathered a significant drop in giving this year, and while they’re hoping for a holiday miracle, a recent survey shows they will probably see a decrease in year-end generosity. In light of the economic downturn, only 38 percent of Americans say they are more likely to give a charitable gift as a holiday present this year, compared to 49 percent last year, according to a survey conducted by Harris Interactive to be released Monday. Some of the biggest U.S. charities say they are budgeting for a disappointing Christmas.—The Associated Press, November 16, 2009

Many nonprofits are feeling the pinch from today’s challenging economic climate.  As the excerpt above from the Associated Press poll shows, the tough times are impacting charities’ fundraising efforts and their supporters’ donation levels, even during the traditional year-end season of giving.

However, there is some good news to report: In response to the fundraising challenges faced by nonprofits and schools, during the month of December, GlobalMojo will donate 100% of the revenue generated by our users to their chosen causes!

During the “100% For the Holidays” campaign, starting on cyber Monday, November 30th through December 31, 2009, GlobalMojo will donate 100% of the revenue generated by our users to their chosen causes. After December 31, 2009, 50% of generated revenue will go to users’ chosen causes.

Nonprofits aren’t the only ones feeling the pinch. Consumers are also looking for ways to be generous without spending more than they’ve budgeted for the holidays. Fortunately GlobalMojo offers powerful tools for your holiday shopping, that will help you quickly find exactly what you need (at the best prices) and raise more money for your favorite nonprofit:

We invite you to visit www.globalmojo.com to learn more about the GlobalMojo browser, and how we’re helping nonprofits and their supporters browse with purpose.

Note: If you are a nonprofit or school, please visit our nonprofit services pages to learn how you can maximize GlobalMojo as a free fundraising tool during the holidays and beyond.

Happy Holidays!

Wednesday, November 25th, 2009

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving, which puts us in the mood to show our appreciation for all the good things we have.  All of us at GlobalMojo have a lot to be thankful for; and much of that is thanks to you. We’d like to send out a big “Thank you!” to all of our friends, family, partners and supporters for helping us create a browser and a company that can make the world a better place for everyone.

That’s why we created the “100% For the Holidays” campaign, with 100% of the revenue generated by GlobalMojo users through December 31, 2009, going to their selected causes. We can do a lot of good this holiday season, so help us spread the Mojo!

Happy Birthday Firefox

Friday, November 13th, 2009

Happy Birthday FirefoxAll of us here at GlobalMojo want to wish the Firefox browser a happy 5th birthday! Five years ago Mozilla debuted what would become one of the most popular web browsers and open source experiments—one that would be embraced by over a billion people around the world.

At GlobalMojo we think very highly of the Firefox browser — so much so that we built the GlobalMojo browser using the Firefox browser code architecture. We couldn’t do what we do without relying on Mozilla’s accomplishments that have proven that open-source software is every bit as good—if not better—than the alternatives. Mozilla has led the way in this effort to create and promote the Internet as an open platform, and we applaud them for their accomplishments.

In addition to appreciating their powerful open source software, we are proud to partner with Mozilla because their values so closely mirror our own — both Mozilla and GlobalMojo believe in the power of technology to enrich people’s lives. Using the Firefox browser architecture as a strong foundation, we have added powerful tools that give people a rewarding web browsing experience while generating money for their favorite causes. We’re also proud to feature the Mozilla Foundation as one of our featured causes (Support Technology With Social Value); if you don’t know who to Mojo for, consider supporting the Mozilla Foundation in their ongoing efforts to make the Internet a better experience for all of us!

Happy 5th birthday, Firefox!

Featured Cause: Stand Up Against Poverty!

Thursday, October 15th, 2009

Stand Up Against Poverty
For the fourth consecutive year, millions of people around the world will “Stand Up and Take Action” to demand that world leaders end poverty and achieve the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).

In September 2000, 189 world leaders adopted the MDGs as part of the Millennium Declaration at the United Nations Millennium Summit. The MDGs offer us a roadmap to end poverty and its root causes.

The MDG’s set an unprecedented global framework for development that is a crucial step towards ending poverty and inequality by 2015.

The eight MDG goals include:
img_millenium-goals-hdr
Last year, a record-breaking 116 million people stood up and took action to end poverty and help achieve these Goals. This movement has set a new Guinness World Record for the largest mobilization around a single cause in recorded history.

However, this is a time of extraordinary challenge. The global financial crisis is having a devastating impact on the world’s poorest and most vulnerable, and the climate crisis threatens to undo the gains that have been made towards achieving the MDGs. With only six years left to the 2015 deadline, no region is on track to achieve their goals.

We must make fulfilling the MDGs an urgent priority, and ‘Stand Up, Take Action’ is a vital opportunity to send a clear directive to world leaders to deliver on the promise they made to the world’s people to usher in a new era of equality, health, and prosperity.
