I came across a new website recently called GoodSearch.com. This innovative search engine gives at least 50% of its revenues to the charity of your choosing!!! Plus, the search results are powered by Yahoo! so you know they’re quality search results by one of the biggest names in search.

There is north of 45,000 charities listed with more and more being added each day. One of the coolest features is the “amount raised” button which shows you how much has been raised for your selected charity. My selected charity is The Children’s Tumor Foundation which is actively searching for a cure for neurfibromatosis - a genetic disorder that I’ve had since childbirth. So far this year searchers just like you and me have raised over $900 for this worthy charity.

So maybe finding a cure for a disease isn’t your thing — there are scores more charities! The Navigators, another one of my favorite non-profits, is listed. So is Focus on the Family. If charities aren’t your thing, your school can sign up too. Milford Middle School where I spent 4 years is listed too.

You’re going to do a search anyway so why not search for a cause?
