Greetings!
Wow, GoodSearch and GoodShop continue to take off! We are looking
forward to this December when we'll once again be sending checks to
thousands of great causes -- in fact three times as many as we did
last year!
|
Don't Just Shop... GoodShop!
|
|
What if each time you shopped online, a percentage of the
sale went to your favorite charity or school?
That's the idea behind
GoodShop, our new online shopping mall.
We're pleased to share with you some success stories...
 |
A $7,100 purchase placed at Giaiam.com resulted in a
$284 donation to the Motion Mania Dance Theater in
Gaithersburg, Maryland!
|
|
|
A $432 purchase at online shoe store Zappos.com
earned $26 for the Berkshire Humane Society!
|
|
|
A $4,700 order was placed at Adobe Software, earning
Capri Elementary School in California $191.
|
|
|
An $80 order at 123inkjets.com generated an $11
donation for the US Campaign for Burma. |
Hundreds of top merchants including Target, BestBuy, Zappos,
ebay, Staples, Macy's, Apple, Nike, Wal-Mart, Home Shopping
Network, Kohls and Barnes & Noble are on-board, and we're
rapidly adding new stores.
Just go to
GoodShop, click on the store's logo and then shop as you
normally would. No username or password is required. Yes,
it's that easy!
You'll get the exact same prices as if you went to the
store's website directly except now a percentage of the
sales price will be donated to your favorite cause. The
donations average around 3%, but can go as high as 37%!
Please
spread the word!

A Penny for Your Search?
|
|
It's been two years since we launched
GoodSearch with the dream of funding important causes,
large and small, just by searching the Internet.
With more than $8 billion in advertising revenue earned by
the major search engines each year, we thought, "What if
even a fraction of this money went to making the world a
better place?"
Two years later, we're thrilled to report that the idea is a
major success! More than 46,000 nonprofits and schools are
now on-board with 100 more continuing to sign up daily.
A penny per search can truly add up and make a difference.
Here are a few examples...
|
|
The St. Jude Children's Research Hospital has earned
$3,300
|
|
|
The ASPCA has earned $7,100
|
|
|
The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation has earned $5,300 |
Please help us in
getting the word out. There's no easier way to stay
connected or generate much needed funding for your favorite
cause.
