About the Program

GoodSearch is a search engine which donates 50 percent of its sponsored search revenue to the charities and schools designated by its users. You use GoodSearch exactly as you would any other search engine; it can also be downloaded as a toolbar (the search engine itself is powered by Yahoo!). The money GoodSearch donates to charities comes from its advertisers — the users and the organizations do not spend a dime!

GoodShop partners with retailers who agree to donate an average of 3% per sale to the purchaser's designated charity. The amount differs for each retailer, but the percentage donated is indicated below the merchant logos on the GoodShop page.

To get started, go to http://www.goodsearch.com/ and click on the GoodShop link or go to http://www.goodsearch.com/goodshop.aspx. In the "Who do you GoodSearch for" box, enter "Expressions Learning Arts Academy".

Next, click through to GoodShop's partner merchants (clicking on the merchant's link will open a new browser window and redirect you to their site) and start shopping! A percentage of your purchase will go to your favorite charity or school.

FAQs (from the GoodSearch website)

Am I paying more to shop through GoodShop? Is this any different than buying directly from the retailer?

Absolutely not! The experience of shopping through GoodShop is exactly the same as going to the retailer directly — you receive the same prices and level of service. The retailers are responsible for collecting payment, shipping and returns.

Is shopping through GoodShop secure?

Absolutely! 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.

Why is there a delay between when I make a purchase and when it shows up on the Amount Raised page?

GoodShop posts data received from retailers weekly on their Amount Raised page. Please note however that retailers may take up to eight weeks to report their sales from the time of your purchase. Also, you may notice a change in the totals due to returned merchandise or cancelled orders.
