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.
