June 19 (Day 111) Doing Good One Search at a Time

What if even a fraction of the billions of dollars generated by search engine advertisers and online shopping was directed towards the causes you care about? That is the concept behind GoodSearch  a search engine powered by Yahoo! GoodSearch donates 50% of its revenue, approximately a penny per search, to the charities designated by its users. You use it exactly as you would any other search engine and the pennies add up quickly – just 500 people searching four times a day will earn around $7,300 in a year. It doesn’t cost the users a thing!

More than 91,000 charities and schools are now participating in GoodSearch and more than 100 new groups are joining each day! Here are just a few of the many success stories thus far:

• ASPCA has earned $33,700
• Best Friends Animal Society has earned $17,000
• Cystic Fibrosis Foundation has earned $13,800
• Elephant Sanctuary has earned $13,200
• Heifer International has earned $5,900
• St. Jude Children's Research Hospital has earned $12,300

  

Similarly with GoodShop, consumers are helping their favorite causes by shopping at hundreds of well known retailers including Amazon, Target, Apple, Macy’s, Best Buy, Orbitz, Staples and others. The shopping experience and the prices are exactly the same as going to the retailer directly, but by going through GoodShop, up to 30% of the purchase price is donated the user’s favorite cause!

Using GoodSearch is simple. Because the site is powered by Yahoo, users are assured of high quality results - but each time you search, money is generated by the advertisers for your favorite charity or school.

Every penny counts! While doing a search or shopping online why not raise money for your favorite cause? There is absolutely no reason not to use GoodSearch and GoodShop - it's so easy.

“We know there are a lot of people who want to do good but may not have the time or the money to help out.” said Ken Ramberg, Co-Founder of GoodSearch. “GoodSearch and GoodShop make it as easy as possible. We’ve taken something people do every day -- searching the Internet and shopping online -- and have turned it into doing good."
