A Way to Give Back- Without Spending Extra
A Way to Give Back- Without Spending Extra
A lot of people prefer to do their shopping online these days. Less time finding a parking spot, standing in line, and walking until your feet ache and blister.
In these difficult economic times, people want to donate to charities but can’t afford to. Especially when you’ve got lots of gifts to buy for family and friends!
There is a way to donate to nonprofits without any extra cost to you! GoodShop.com is an online shopping mall which donates up to 30 percent of each purchase to your favorite cause! Hundreds of great stores including Amazon, Target, Gap, Best Buy, eBay, Macy's, JCPenney’s, and Barnes & Noble have teamed up with GoodShop and every time you place an order, you'll be supporting Advocates for Victims of Abuse, or your favorite cause.
Not only can you help survivors of sexual violence and relationship abuse in Humboldt County by purchasing items through GoodShop.com, you can help by simply using the search engine at GoodSearch.com.
GoodSearch.com is a Yahoo-powered search engine that donates half its advertising revenue (about a penny per search) to the charities it’s users designate. Use it just as you would any search engine, get quality search results from Yahoo, and watch the donations add up! While shopping, GoodShop will let you know much of your money is going to charity (remember those tax-refunds) and any coupons or deals on the site you are shopping on.
To make using GoodSearch even easier, there is a toolbar you can download (virus and spam free!) that will open GoodSearch - Advocates for Victims of Abuse toolbar. Our cause will earn money every time you shop and search online - even if you forget to go to GoodShop or GoodSearch first! Add the Advocates for Victims of Abuse (or the charity of your choice) toolbar at www.goodsearch.com/toolbar/mode.
