Peace Makes It Easy to Do Some Good

Burbank, IL – December 12, 2007 – With the holidays approaching, people are often looking for more ways to donate to charities. Queen of Peace High School has found a way for students, faculty, staff, alumnae, and friends of Peace to donate to the school without having to spend money. By setting browser homepages to www.goodsearch.com, people can search the World Wide Web and help the school at the same time.

GoodSearch is a new Internet search engine, powered by Yahoo!, with a unique social mission that involves giving back to charity with every Web search. The company's goal is to direct 50 percent of its revenues – this currently equates to about a penny per search – to the nonprofits designated by its users. Image, video and news searches are not included.

Search engines make most of their money from companies that pay an advertising fee when users click on links during a search. GoodSearch has developed a patent-pending way to track and direct these search-generated proceeds to charities. In other words, a portion of advertiser dollars earned as a result of the search are now passed along to the school.

Once a browser homepage is set at www.goodsearch.com, the user enters the non-profit of choice – Queen of Peace High School (Burbank, IL), for instance. With each search from this page, a portion of advertisers’ money is sent to Queen of Peace. Since setting GoodSearch as the browser homepages on student laptops and on all computers in the building this school year, Peace has been able to raise $300.

The more people who use GoodSearch, the more non-profits benefit. For more information, visit the GoodSearch website at http://www.goodsearch.com/About.aspx#faq25.
