Wisdom Trust - Information For Schools
Information For Schools.
a. Education.
Creating A Wider Awareness About Big Global Issues - Poverty, Environment & Health.
By registering online, staff, students and parents can become friends of The Wisdom Trust and, as such, will be able to learn more about the important global issues of poverty, environment and health through our online education programs. They’ll even have access to hundreds of simple tips that show what they can do to help protect the environment and improve their own health.
As friends of The Wisdom Trust, they'll also accumulate credits (known as fundraising credits or FC's) by using our online education programs. These credits are stored in a personal fund, and can be used in a variety of ways, including:-
• Making a donation to one of our listed charities/good causes
• Applying for an eco-grant to help fund things like solar panels, wind turbines, water butts etc.
• Offsetting individual or business carbon emissions
• Applying for an education grant towards tuition fees at univerity or college
b. Fundraising.
Two New Fundraising Streams For Schools - Monthly, Quarterly & Annually.
Once registered on our website, a school will be eligible for donations from The Wisdom Trust’s ‘Donations Fund’, which represents 50% of the Trust’s income. We believe that together everyone achieves more, so, we allocate extra sums from our separate ‘Members Fund’ to the school, based on how much their supporters (staff, students and parents etc.) use the website’s online education programs or its other online resources (shopping mall, search engines etc.).
c. Community.
Reaching Out Into The Local Community - Making A Difference & Spreading Goodwill.
Friends of The Wisdom Trust will be able (and are even encouraged) to build links within their local communities by nominating other organisations to be added to the list of supported charities and good causes. We accept any organisation, as long as their business model is 'not-for-profit', so this includes charities, churches, hospitals, good causes, community organisations and even local sports clubs.
Through The Wisdom Trust’s free carbon offsetting program, they’ll also be able to work towards creating a carbon neutral community within their town or village, by getting as many people involved as possible.
d. What Next.
1. Register The School With The Wisdom Trust.
Schools can register as one of The Wisdom Trust's listed organisations using the link below, then promote The Wisdom Trust (by email, in the school newsletter or even through a link on the school website, for example) to staff, students, parents and any other supporters (including former students), who'll be able to register themselves as friends of The Wisdom Trust. The registration process is quick, free-of-charge and very simple - they'll only need to provide an email address, then make up a password to complete the short online registration form.
2. Build A Donation.
Straight away, those new members will be able to place a vote for the school (every day, if they wish) to ensure that the school gets as large a share of The Wisdom Trust's 'Donations Fund' as possible. The more votes a school gets, the larger will be its share of the quarterly Donations Fund.
Then, in addition, every time they use The Wisdom Trust website as a gateway for searching the internet or shopping online, and especially when they use the website’s built-in education programs to learn more about poverty, environment and health issues, they’ll be awarded Fundraising Credits, thus raising money automatically for the school in particular, but for all the other listed charities and good causes as well.
3. Fundraising Made Simple.
Where will this money come from? Well, at the moment, whenever someone uses the internet, it’s likely that all their online activity is creating advertising revenue or ecommerce commissions. Mostly, this money will be paid to their own internet provider, but many other online companies will get a share too.
However, by choosing to divert some or all of their searching and shopping through The Wisdom Trust, everyone can make sure that the money reaches where it’s needed most in the future. And of course, in particular, they'll be diverting some of it to the school. They won't need to change internet provider or their current email address, or indeed alter any other way they use the internet, except to click through The Wisdom Trust website when they wish to search or shop online.
4. Getting More Involved.
But The Wisdom Trust doesn't only operate online. We organise and participate in a whole range of outside events, including environmental fairs, exhibitions, seminars and conferences. We also run a roadshow which can visit schools, universities, community groups and other venues, to talk to people about the work of The Wisdom Trust and to discuss how anyone, regardless of age or background, can get involved to help make a difference.
All members will be able to participate in any of our events, maybe even as part of The Wisdom Trust team and promote their own favourite charities and local organisations through our events. But everyone can help with online research into more facts, statistics and information about the three key issues and contribute in the development of our future education programs.
All members will be able to nominate other organisations in their community to be added to our list of supported charities and good causes, then other members will be able to link to their website and maybe even vote for them through the members’ poll.
One of the main ways The Wisdom Trust grows is by word of mouth, so all our members are encouraged to help spread the word by introducing all their family, friends and neighbours who use the internet, wherever they are in the world. Our system will track the many lines of introduction and ensure that the school receives extra benefit when their staff, students and parents introduce others to our program.

Inspirational Quote For Wisdom
The illiterate of the 21st century
will not be those who cannot read
and write, but those who cannot
learn, unlearn, and relearn.
