Have you always wanted to give to charity but always seem to be short on funds? Do you want to volunteer but never seem to find the time? With Good Search, raising money for a favorite charity is as simple as searching the internet. And it's free to use
Donate Per Search
"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." says Ken Ramberg, Co-Founder of GoodSearch and former President of MonsterTRAK. Powered by Yahoo, this search engine helps raise money for charity with every single search. Each search is valued at one cent and users can track it in real-time to see how much money is earned.
According to its website, Good Search "The money GoodSearch donates to your cause comes from its advertisers - the users and the organizations do not spend a dime!" It donates 50% of it's revenue to the charity or school you have chosen.
In addition to money for searches, users can help earn money for your favorite charity though GoodShop, a collection of online shops that will donate a percentage of sales though their link to the designated charity. To use it just click the link on the Good Search homepage. Current online retailers include iTunes, Amazon, Ebay, ToysRUs and Barnes and Noble. Each purchase at these everyday retailers can be helping out your favorite charity. Just be sure to click through the Goodshop page before shopping and a portion of the purchase will go to the selected charity.
Don't forget to tell friends and co-workers about the power of Good Search. Since there is no limit or cap on the amount of money that is donated, the more people that use it, the greater the amount of donated money. There are form letters available on the website as well as instructions on how to make Good Search your home page and part of your email signature.
There are thousands of charities to choose to help out, and users can sign up their own. Everyday learn about a new charity though the charity of the day link and see a list of celebrities who are doing good, and which charity they support.
Each time users search, their last chosen charity is saved, but users can help out a different one each time, just by searching for it.
So ditch your other search engine and start using Good Search today.
