New Genealogy Society Fundraiser Announced

Via Family Tree Magazine's Genealogy Insider blog:

The Federation of Genealogical Society (FGS) recently announced partnerships with several genealogy companies, including Family Tree Magazine.

These partnerships are designed to help FGS and its 500-plus member societies earn much-needed funds for programs, volunteer projects and other efforts to benefit and grow the genealogical community. When individual members of FGS societies purchase the partners’ products, those companies will donate a portion of the sales back to the societies.

Societies can go to HelpFGS.org and download a button to put on their Web sites. Then individual members can visit to society’s site to sign up for a $24 new subscription, and Family Tree Magazine donate $6 of the proceeds to that member society and $6 to FGS.

Further information and FAQs are on the HelpFGS.org Web site.
