I recently heard about GoodSearch, which is a search engine owned by Yahoo that donates 50% of its advertising revenue to nonprofits. Whenever you use GoodSearch as your search engine, they make a donation to the charity you designate (it works out to be about 1 cent per search). The search results are identical to what you would get using Yahoo.
Even if you only use GoodSearch occasionally, it can add up to thousands of dollars over the course of a year -- which can make a big difference to a small nonprofit like Sammy's House. To put it in perspective, it would only take 120,000 searches to pay for 3 kids to attend our after-school program for an entire month. With enough people participating, 120,000 searches can go by in a flash!
To get started, just go to GoodSearch, click "Choose Your Cause" below the search bar, and type in "Sammy's House." You can then choose to register with the site, or not -- either way, your internet searches will count towards the Sammy's House donation total. The only benefit to registering is that you can track how much you personally have contributed to your designated nonprofit. If that doesn't matter to you, click "Continue without registering."
GoodSearch also partners with different retailers who have agreed to donate a certain percentage of your purchase to the nonprofit you select. One example of a big-name retailer that does this is Amazon, which donates 1.5% of most purchases to the nonprofit you pick (but only when you access Amazon from the GoodSearch website). Click here to get more information about the Amazon donations.
Lastly, if you'd like to make a direct donation to Sammy's House, go to our donation page. You'll see instructions there for making a donation via check or PayPal. Sammy's House is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, so all donations are tax-deductible.
Thanks for your support!
