GoodSearch

Want a way to support Heifer International, First Book, Nothing But Nets, Dress for Success, and/or Manhattan Country School for free every day? Make GoodSearch (www.goodsearch.com) your home page.

GoodSearch is a search engine powered by Yahoo! that donates 50% of its advertising revenue to charities featured on the site. All you need to do is conduct the Web searches you conduct every day. Each time you search, money is donated to a charity of your choosing or to the "charity of the day," which changes daily.

All of the charities I've written about in this blog can be supported through GoodSearch. Just type the charity's name into the "Who do you GoodSearch for?" box and press "verify." From then forward, every search you make helps support your cause.

GoodSearch is currently supporting 89,181 nonprofits, so you'll never be at a loss for an organization to support. If your nonprofit isn't listed, you can apply to have it added. You can also help by spreading the word about GoodSearch.

Many of us have a search engine as our home page or search engine toolbar on our browser. Consider changing your home page and your toolbar to GoodSearch and help make the world a little better without affecting your daily life (or your wallet).
