Good Search
While at Blackbaud, I have been fortunate to be able to observe the work of some of our local Charleston, SC non-profit customers. Recently, I observed the National Association for Continence and our local Ronald McDonald House chapter. My project was to observe and understand what a day is like when working on the “other side” of the phones I talk on everyday. Though I learned a lot about how these organizations work and how they use our products, I also picked up on an amazing search engine they use, and I think it’s something worth sharing:
www.goodsearch.com
Enter the name of the charity/school of your choice, and each time you use their search engine (just like Yahoo or Google), a portion of their advertising profits go to your designated charity. More about Good Search
They also have a shopping site:
http://www.goodsearch.com/goodshop.aspx
It offers links to popular shopping sites, such as Amazon and Ebay, and a portion of your purchase goes to the charity of your choice. They also offer coupons and deals beyond what you would find on the regular sites.
What could be easier? Plus it’s free!
Pass it on!
