Each organization has the power to affect change at the community level; however, given today’s economy, many of them are having a difficult time doing what they do best. By allowing each organization’s membership to support their favorite cause without spending a dime, Mokoseek aspires to become an essential part of the fund raising equation.

To ensure that Mokoseek remembers your selection, sign up by clicking the link in the top right corner of the screen. Once signed-up, you will not have to re-enter the organization that you support unless you move to a different computer.

What makes Mokoseek Special… why should I use Mokoseek?

Mokoseek is special because we allow anyone to join; however, our focus is on organizations that assist Africans and their descendants worldwide. In sum, our mission is to help to erase the educational, economic and technological gaps which still persist today.

What percentage of the Advertising revenue goes to the charities and schools?
60% of all advertising revenue goes to each organization. Thus, for every $100 dollars a school or charity’s membership raises, $60 goes to that organization. Advertising revenue is generated through pay per click (ads that appear within the search results). All funds are immediately added to each organization’s Google Adsense account the moment that it is generated! Google Adsense will pay organizations on a monthly basis if EFT (electronic funds transfer) is used. Click here to learn more about Google Adsense; an account is required to utilize Mokoseek. Click “Sign-up” (top right corner of the screen) to start the registration process… if you need help signing-up for a Google Adsense account, click here to request assistance.
