What is Good Search ?

Good Search is a search site where you can search your favorite stores online. Anything that you buy through there they donate to the charity of your choice.

When you log on set up your favorite charity and everything you spend a % is given back to the charity of your choice. All of your favorite stores are on there: Amazon, PetSmart, Staples, Walmart, Barnes and Noble, Apple, Best Buy, Gap, HP, HomeDepot, Macys, Ralph Lauren, Saks, and so many more.

Charities and non-profits are hurting in our current economic climate

merry christmas We can help by just ordering some of gifts online. I wish I had known about this on Cyber Monday, but since I have not really started my Christmas shopping, I am thrilled to have found it.

I will be shopping for The Student Advocacy Center in Ann Arbor, Michigan. It is one of my favorite charities. You can also shop for a favorite school, just add it in.

Over 70,000 Charities are already signed up and benefiting from our shopping through Good Search. Yahoo has teamed up with the sister site GoodShop.com and is donating 1 penny everytime you search.

Just think how much we can help our Non-profits, Charities and Schools if all 123,574 of us on Activerain ordered through them instead of just going to the store?

It is not just for the Christmas Holiday season either, you can shop year round. Invite your friends, family and let your favorite places you donate know of this.

Oprah, ABC News, The N.Y Times, PC Magazine, FOX, CNN and more are all getting in on it.

Oh, and did I say Sephoria is also on there?

I shop online a lot, do thank you for sharing. Since we all are going to shop for Christmas presents, it's good to know that a portion of the money spending is going to a charity.

Missy...what a great concept! I'm about to do a post for a charity event I attended last night! It was great!

But, the attendance was down, and so was the number of toys donated.

Missy... interesting. Thanks for sharing this. How did you do in regards to cyber Monday. Did you get some great deals or even better than what was offered on Black Friday?

I love this, and already wrote it up for my next newsletter edition. I looked up my favorite charity - and they've received over $2,600! It's so true that all non profits are suffering, and I'm so excited about such an easy way to help!

You are so right about charities suffering in these times. Most Charities depend on donations to make it. Thank you for sharing this I bookmarked it to come back to tonight.

This is a great idea - I was just reading about it on MAR and like the idea of giving to others while I'm buying for others.

Hi Missy...I wish amazon.com had this feature. That is where I do probably 90% of my shopping.

I mostly buy electronics and books and it is a great site for those items.

I'd better check again to see if I missed anything there. If not I just might send them a suggestion that they do it either this year or consider it for next year.

Thanks for the reminder.

Missy, I normally use leapfish.com because it uses google, yahoo and msn from one site, but when shopping I am going to do what you suggested, great post, great idea, and Happy Holidays!

Missy, this is certainly a great way to shop and give all at the same time. Another point that if I may add is to shop locally this year, especially since there are many stores that are having a very tough time and we need to help keep our own in business.
