SearchScene for Universities
Try a more ethical search engine and raise money for charity while you search the web!
SearchScene is a charitable search engine that's powered by Bing. We make money from search ads, just like Google, but we donate 95% of our profits to charities that fight the causes and effects of climate change. Here's how it works…
-
1
Add SearchScene to your browser at University and at home and raise tokens for charity whilst searching the web. -
2
Create or join a University group to earn tokens collectively as part of your University. -
3
Search the web as usual, but use SearchScene instead of Google. Each search you make raises one token (approx 0.5c USD) for charity. When you collect as a group, these tokens can quickly add up! -
4
Check your University's impact on your University's impact page (by clicking on the link within the My Groups page). -
5
See how your University stacks up against other Universities in terms of their impact by checking out the Universities Leaderboard.
You can join up to 10 groups, so you could also create or join a departmental group, sports team group or just start a friends group.
Groups can be public or private. If you choose to create a public group then anyone can join, though you can restrict access by the person's email domain. If you choose to create a private group, then only people you share your private link with can join.
After you join a group, any tokens you collect by performing searches on SearchScene will be added to the group total. This is no way affects your privacy. No one else can see what you searched for – we don't collect that data anyway.

We are stronger together!
Ask your University's computer administrators or departmental heads to install our SearchScene browser extension on your University's computers. Using SearchScene instead of Google is an easy and free way to raise money for charity with every search you make.
Using SearchScene, you can also view your CO2 savings from tree planting, which can contribute towards your sustainability goals and contribute towards your CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) objectives.
Together, we can make a difference!
