4. Click on the "Create a New Saved Search" link.

 

 

5. Choose a unique name for this search, like "Weekend Hunger" You should create multiple searches. To keep these organized you should use a specific name for the search.

 

6. Choose what parameters you will use in this search. The more options you add the more specific the search. Results are produced only if they meet ALL the factors you search by.

 

7. Follow Steps 3-7 depending how many parameters you decided to search by. Again the more things you add to your search the FEWER results. Our system looks for only opportunities that match ALL of the search factors you enter.

 

 

8. Choose how often you want to get email updates. Also choose how many opportunities will be given in the email updates.
