Is it possible to donate to charity while not deviating from your typical workday routine? It could be, due to the innovate site, GoodSearch. Fueled by Yahoo search, GoodSearch donates 50% of its revenue to charity. To donate, a user simply has to indicate which registered charity s/he would like to support, and go about browsing the internet. GoodSearch advertisers generate the income at 1-1.3 cents per search.
Is there a nonprofit you’d like to support? If it’s not registered under good search, you can submit the charity here. You can add a GoodSearch toolbar to facilitate searches. Most importantly, nonprofits can add GoodSearch banners, badges and buttons to encourage supporters to search. Nonprofits can also encourage supporters to add the GoodSearch badge to their personal social networking sites.
If you online shop frequently, GoodShop will donate 30% of every purchase from participating vendors to the charity of your choice.
Since its inception, GoodSearch has met with good reviews as a way to encourage support for many different charities.
The downside? The GoodSearch engine will not yield as many results as stronger search engines. However, as a way to start a search and a donor tool, GoodSearch is a great resource.
What are other ways to utilize search engines and internet resources to donate?
