We will have many more ways that you can help support a school in the future.

All of these actions will earn YOU Advantage Points (APs) that you can then turn in for rewards yourself, but... for every AP YOU personally earn, Search Big Daddy will give an equal number to the school you are supporting. The school can then cash these points in for real dollars to help fund needed programs.

How Can My School Earn Money From Search Big Daddy?
The Search Big Daddy School Sponsorship Program is a passive, year-round fundraiser for schools. For every search performed by students, parents, friends, neighbors, teachers or advministrators on SearchBigDaddy.com or Local.SearchBigDaddy.com your school will earn Advantage Points (APs) that can then be cashed in for REAL DOLLARS.

Currently, Search Big Daddy pays $20.00 for every 100,000 APs earned by and for the school.

Make SearchBigDaddy.com the HOME page for ALL your school computers to ensure you'll earn points from students while at school. Send a flyer home to parents asking them to use SearchBigDaddy.com for their global searching and Local.SearchBigDaddy.com when they want to find something locally and earn APs from them.

BUT WAIT... there's more. There are lots of ways to earn more points for your school. Here's a short list and we'll be adding many more ways in the future:

And that's just the tip of the iceberg. In the future, BigDaddy.com will offer APs for posting to the school online newsletter that we will provide absolutely free to every school that participates (but you must have at least one faculity adviser to review these posts.) We will offer great games and tons of resources for students, that when used will earn them and your school APs. And more...

Schools Dependent on Fundraising can Count on BigDaddy.com

Can BigDaddy.com be the solution to the problem that 94% of Elementary School Principals have? Relying on fundraisers to supplement monies received from district, state, and federal funds to support such basic needs as classroom equipment and supplies, field trips and playground equipment?

We think so!

Based on a recent survey of Elementary School Principals conducted by The National Association of Elementary School Principals (NAESP), 64 percent of them would stop fundraising if they could. Many believe fundraisers have become too much of a distraction to the school's instructional day. And many principals' commented that "fundraisers place too much pressure on young children to sell products and can also be burdensome to teachers, parents and community members."

Over 1,000 K-8 school principals surveyed and 85% said that in the last decade there has been an increased "need" for fundraisers.

While 3% of the schools raise over $75,000 each year only 35% raise between $10,000 and $25,000. The remainder falls below that.

"Until our schools begin receiving the appropriate funding necessary to purchase these resources, which in many cases are very basic items that all schools should have, we will continue to see an increase in the number of fundraisers," says NAESP's executive director, Vincent L. Ferrandino.

Enter… BigDaddy.com. A way that schools can operate a year-round fundraiser without having to cause distractions in the classroom, take away valuable time for learning, put pressure on children to "sell", make parents feel "obligated" to "buy" something they may not want or need or ask community businesses for even more financial support.

BigDaddy.com allows schools to earn monies when their students, parents, extended family, teachers, staff and administrators choose to use SearchBigDaddy.com for global Internet searching and Local.SearchBigDaddy.com for finding products and services in or near their community. There are other things supporters can do to help raise funds for their school such as use a SearchBigDaddy.com FREE email account to send and receive email, post local information to their Wiki, write about their passion on BlogLanding.com and more.

For every action a supporter takes, BigDaddy.com will award them a specific number of points called Advantage Points. At the same time, BigDaddy.com will give an equal number of Advantage Points (APs) to the supported school. When the school accumulates 100,000 APs, BigDaddy.com will write a check for $20.00 to the school. It may not sound like much money, but a school that endorses the program and promotes it to their student body and parents can earn a lot more cash.

Supporters earn 10,000 Advantage Points just for activating their SearchBigDaddy.com email account. They earn 100 APs for registering at BigDaddy.com and 100 APs for posting to the Wiki or Blog. Referring friends will also earn them 100 Advantage Points. So as you can see… the points can add up quickly.

And what do supporters get out of it other than a sense of being able to help their school without spending money? Well, BigDaddy.com offers a unique "Rewards Program". Supporters that earn Advantage Points can choose to donate those points to a school of their choice (50,000 APs per 30 day period) or they can cash them in for discounts on travel, hotel stays, DVDs, watches, electronics, movie tickets and more.
