What if Spencer Community Theatre earned a penny every time you searched the Internet? Well, now it can!!

GoodSearch.com is a new Yahoo-powered search engine that donates half its advertising revenue, about a penny per search, to the charities its users designate. Use it just as you would any search engine, get quality search results from Yahoo, and watch the donations add up! Just go to www.goodsearch.com and be sure to enter Spencer Community Theatre as the charity you want to support. When you use GoodSearch to search for our website or thousands of other websites, money is earned!! If 1000 SCT supporters searched twice a day for a year, SCT could receive over $7,000!

You can also read about GoodSearch in the NY Times, Oprah Magazine, CNN, the Wall Street Journal and more!!

My favorite example is the search engine GoodSearch.com. The idea behind this excellent search engine (powered by Yahoo) is simple and brilliant — 50% of all ad revenue generated from the site is donated to the charity of the user's choice, and the money GoodSearch donates comes from its advertisers, so it doesn't cost the users or the organizations a penny.

O-Zone: Pennies From Heaven

April 2006

Imagine if every time you logged on and looked up the caloric content of the snack you just ate, you earned money for charity. With each search you launch on goodsearch.com, about 1 cent goes to the charity or school of your choice. You simply select an organization from a database of thousands or add your own, then tell all your friends, tell your friends to tell their friends and so on. If 1,000 people with the same charity search twice a day for a year, the charity earns $7,300. Wanting to harness for mankind some of the cash advertisers throw at search engines ($6 billion last year), founders Ken and JJ Ramberg partnered with Yahoo!

Give to charity just by searching the Web
