7 Great Examples of Our SearchLite Widget Deployed

We’ve just completely overhauled the process to request our SearchLite Widget. Now, you can just fill out a form to automatically receive the HTML code to put a free “lite” version of our VolunteerMatch on any Web site.

The SearchLite Widget is a popular way for CSR-minded companies, employee volunteer programs, community foundations, Web publishers, and other Web site owners to engage their Web users with a wide variety of active volunteer opportunities. It can be customized to fit the look and feel of any site.

While the time needed to install our SearchLite Widget might be small, its potential impact is not. Opportunities from our entire network of 68,000 organizations can be found through the widget, which means any Web site can become a platform for social change.
