GoodSearch

We all care about the US Hereditary Angioedema Association, but maybe we just don’t have the time or money to support them as much as we’d like. So, what if we could raise money for the US HAEA by doing something we do every day — searching the Internet?

After its founders realized what a fraction of the $8 billion generated annually by search engine advertisers could do if it were directed towards organizations trying to make the world a better place, GoodSearch was launched in 2005.

GoodSearch is a search engine which, with every Internet search, donates 50-percent of its revenue to the US HAEA. You use GoodSearch exactly as you would any other search engine. And because it’s powered by Yahoo!, you get proven search results. The money GoodSearch will donate to the US HAEA comes from its advertisers — the users and the HAEA do not spend a dime!

How do I raise money for the US Hereditary Angioedema Association (HAEA) through GoodSearch?

It’s easy…

• Go to GoodSearch.com and choose the Hereditary Angioedema Association as your charity of choice
• OR go directly to http://www.goodsearch.com/?charityid=814582
• Search the Internet just like you normally would — the site is powered by Yahoo!, so you’ll get high-quality search results.

Fifty percent of the revenue generated from advertisers is shared with the US Hereditary Angioedema Association – the more you search, the more the HAEA makes!

What stops people from clicking just to raise money for their charity? What is meant by fraudulent searching?

GoodSearch asks that you use their site honestly. As long as you use GoodSearch just as you would any other search engine, it’s never a problem.

Fraudulent searching includes, but is not limited to, repeated manual clicks, the use of robots or other automated query tools, etc. This will result in the user being blocked from the site and/or the charity being de-listed.

While not expressly prohibited, searches to URL’s (i.e., search terms ending in .com, .org, .net, .edu), searches to sites for which the URL is well known such as HotMail, ESPN, MySpace, Facebook, GMail, AOL, etc., and searches for stock quotes will not count toward a nonprofit’s total searches and revenue.

Why is GoodSearch especially relevant to the Hereditary Angioedema Association today?

GoodSearch is a great way for people to stay connected with the HAEA. Every day through GoodSearch, users are able do something to help the HAEA and show their loyalty to the Association. In addition to this added cash, the Association benefits from the increased awareness and visibility it can get by being listed with GoodSearch or featured as the site’s “Charity of the Day” on its home page.
