GoodSearch is a search engine which donates 50-percent of its revenue to the charities and schools designated by its users. It’s a simple and compelling concept. You use GoodSearch exactly as you would any other search engine. Because it’s powered by Yahoo!, you get proven search results. The money GoodSearch donates to your cause comes from its advertisers – the users and the organizations do not spend a dime!
In 2007, GoodSearch was expanded to include GoodShop, an online shopping mall of world-class merchants dedicated to helping fund worthy causes across the country. Each purchase made via the GoodShop mall results in a donation to the user’s designated charity or school.
The goal of GoodSearch is to help as many nonprofits and schools as possible. They want to help fund the great works the nonprofits are doing. And, as important as the money, GoodSearch allows people to feel connected to organizations helping to make the world a better place and support them every single day. They believe that “doing good” should be a part of people’s everyday lives.
The Bubel/Aiken Foundation has been a part of GoodSearch for a few years. It is an easy way for all of us to help raise some needed funds for Clay Aiken’s dream. The next time you are looking for a new book, computer, DVD, pair of shoes or clothing, go to GoodShop. It’s simple. No username or password is required. Just designate the Bubel/Aiken Foundation as your favorite charity, click on the store’s logo from the GoodShop site and then shop as you normally would. Do you use GoodSeach? If you haven’t yet, why not give it a try.
The following is the totals for the month of January for the Bubel/Aiken Foundation. With all the many people that support Clay and his foundation, we should be able to double this amount during February. Lets give it a try and see if we can make a difference.
