A Good Way To Give Back
Many people tell me that
they would love to be able to donate to any number of organizations, especially
local organizations that will help the families in need that are in our area,
but during these tough economic times struggle to find enough to meet their own
needs, let alone extra to spare.
What if I told you that
it is possible to donate to Humboldt
Advocates of Victims of Abuse-
Tri-County Court Appointed Special Advocates (Humboldt AVA -CASA ), a local non-profit
organization that helps with the prevention, education and the advocacy against
relationship abuse, sexual violence, bullying, child abuse and neglect? What if
I told you this was possible, not only during the holiday season but all year
long?
It is possible, thanks to
Goodsearch.com. Goodsearch, was founded in November of 2005, by brothers Ken
and JJ Ramberg. Goodsearch is a toolbar that is powered by yahoo that donates
50% of its revenue to the charity of the searchers choice, that means every
time you search for something you can donate a penny and it costs you nothing!
When you download the Goodsearch toolbar, you will be asked to designate an
organization, as of September 2013 there were more than 107,000 non-profits
participating. If you search Advocates for Victims of Abuse Humboldt
AVA , all proceeds will help local people. If you think that
a penny won't make a difference, imagine how many times a day you search
anything on the internet, every penny adds up and every penny can mean the
world to someone. Once you designate the organization you will be able to view
how much has been earned.
Goodsearch has added an
additional way to donate by creating Goodshop. Goodshop, is an online shopping
mall that provides an easy way to not only help your favorite organization but
also to help yourself. Goodshop was launched by Goodsearch in September of 2007
and is now affiliated with more than 2800 online retailers such as, Amazon,
Best Buy, Target, Expedia, Old Navy, Sears and many, many more. By shopping
these retailers on Goodshop, you will find discounts and coupons that will
allow you to save money while helping your cause to earn money. Each retailer
offers different percentages of your total purchase price that get donated, up
to 30%! We all shop online these days and shop many of these retailers, by just
shopping, continuing to do what you already do, only adding Goodshop, you can
earn a lot for our organization, without spending anything more than what you
planned.
The more supporters of
these applications that we can get, the more that we can raise, without ever
having to spend anything extra. If 100 people that spend $500 annually shopping
online were to add Goodshop and designate Advocates
of Victims of Abuse (Humboldt AVA ) as the non-profit of choice, our organization could
earn $1500.00 per year! Can you imagine all that we could do and all the people
that we could help with $1500.00? That amount goes up with each person that
uses Goodsearch or Goodshop. Each of us can make a difference.
