DOING GOOD ONE SEARCH OR ONE
PURCHASE AT A TIME!

Supporters of NEW DAY SHELTER are
using GoodSearch and GoodShop, raising
money with every search of the
Internet and every purchase on-line!
ASHLAND, WI
2008 -- What if even a fraction of the
$20 billion generated by search engine
advertisers* and online shopping was directed
towards providing much needed services –
temporary housing, counseling, support, etc. --
to families dealing with the devastating effects
of domestic violence?
That is the concept
behind GoodSearch.com a new search engine
powered by Yahoo! GoodSearch donates 50% of its
revenue, approximately a penny per search, to
the charities designated by its users. You use
it exactly as you would any other search
engine and the pennies add up quickly – just 500
people searching four times a day will earn
around $7,300 in a year. It doesn’t cost the
users a thing!
Similarly with
GoodShop.com, consumers are helping their
favorite causes by shopping at hundreds of well
known retailers including Amazon, Target, Apple,
Macy’s, Best Buy, Orbitz, Staples and others.
The shopping experience and the prices are
exactly the same as going to the retailer
directly, but by going through GoodShop, up to
37% of the purchase price is donated the user’s
favorite cause! NEW DAY SHELTER recently
registered with the sites, giving its supporters
a chance to raise money for the cause every time
they search the Internet or shop online.
More than 60,000
nonprofits and schools are now registered with
GoodSearch and GoodShop and more than 100
charities and schools are registering daily.
GoodSearch has quickly spread via word-of-mouth
and the blogger community. Examples of other
organizations listed on the site include: The
Cystic Fibrosis Foundation which has earned more
than $8,000; The ASPCA which has raised more
than $14,000; and The Bubel/Aiken Foundation
which supports children with disabilities and
has earned more than $8,000.
Using GoodSearch is
simple. Because the site is powered by Yahoo,
users are assured of high quality results - but
each time you search, money is generated by the
advertisers for your favorite charity or
school.
“Every penny
counts”, says Kris Zambori, Assistant Director
of New Day Shelter. “While doing a search or
shopping online why not raise money for our
cause? There is
absolutely no reason not to use GoodSearch and
GoodShop - it's so easy”
“We know there are
a lot of people who want to do good but may not
have the time or the money to help out.” said
Ken Ramberg, Co-Founder of GoodSearch and former
President of MonsterTRAK, the largest online
career site for college students (now a division
of Monster.com). “GoodSearch and GoodShop make
it as easy as possible. We’ve taken something
people do every day -- searching the Internet
and shopping online -- and have turned it into
doing good."
