I just got an e-mail about a new search engine called GoodSearch that will send money to your favorite nonprofit each time you search. I checked it out and have added it my Firefox toolbar (they also have it for Internet Explorer) so that my kids’ school can earn money while I work. Here’s what their website says about it:
GoodSearch is an Internet search engine with a simple concept and unique social mission. GoodSearch enables you to help fund any of hundreds of thousands of charities or schools through the simple act of searching the Internet.
The company was founded by a brother and sister team who lost their mom to cancer and wanted to find an easy way for people to support their favorite causes.
It’s simple. You use GoodSearch.com like any other search engine (we’ve partnered with Yahoo! to ensure great results), but each time you do, money is generated for your favorite cause.
Last year search engines generated close to $6 billion in revenue from advertisers. Think about what your favorite cause could do with even a fraction of that money!
Definitely worthwhile to check out, especially if you already prefer Yahoo as your search engine of choice. In any case, earning a penny or so for your favorite charity or school each time you search could end up bringing in big bucks if you spread the word and get other supporters to use Goodsearch too.
