 GoodSearch
is a search engine that provides you with a way to support
Sara’s Garden at absolutely NO cost to you!
Last year search engines generated close to $8 billion in
revenue from advertisers. GoodSearch has developed a way to
direct some of that money to the causes you care about most.
It's easy... every time you search the
Internet at
GoodSearch.com, a portion of that money is donated to
Sara’s Garden. The more you search, the more they donate.
Add up the money generated from all your searches and those
done by the other people who we hope will use GoodSearch,
and you can make a real difference to Sara’s Garden.
How does it work?
-
On the
GoodSearch.com homepage, enter “Sara’s Garden”
in the field inside the photo box asking for your
favorite charity and then click the "Get Started" button.
-
Search the Internet just like you
normally would — the site is powered by Yahoo! so you
can be confident that you'll get high-quality search
results.
-
A portion of the revenue generated
from the sponsored search advertisers is shared with us
(approximately $0.01 per search).
-
If you're planning on making a
purchase online (ie: Amazon, eBay, Dell, iTunes, etc.)
go to GoodSearch first. Click on the GoodShop link
at the top of the page and select your desired retailer
as a portion of your purchases is also donated.
-
The amount donated is different for
each retailer but it averages approximately 3% of the
total sale and can go up to 20% and beyond (the
percentage donated is indicated below the merchants
logo).
-
The experience of shopping through
GoodShop is exactly the same as going to the retailer
directly – you receive the exact same prices and level
of service.
-
GoodSearch does not collect any
credit card or personal information such as your name or
address. The entire transaction is done directly through
the merchants just as if you had gone to their store
directly.
Head on over to
GoodSearch.com and give it a try. By doing nothing more
than searching the internet and ordering the things you were
going to purchase online anyway you’ll be making a difference in
the life of a child with special needs.
Once you're
hooked, make sure to set GoodSearch as your home page and
default search engine to
ensure you won't miss out on any searches. If you need
help on how to go about setting GoodSearch as your home
page and/or default search engine please check out the instructions for the appropriate web
browser you are using by clicking on the corresponding links
below:
Also, GoodSearch now offers a customized
Sara's Garden toolbar for Internet Explorer and Mozilla
Firefox that provides reminders about donation opportunities
when you shop at over 2,500 top brand retailers on
GoodShop.com. Click on the image below to download the
toolbar.
If you have any
questions, please feel free to call (419) 335-SARA, 9 a.m.
to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday.
