QA on GoodSearch
How do I raise money for my favorite charity or school through GoodSearch? Last year search engines generated close to $8 billion in revenue from advertisers. They've developed a way to direct some of that money to the causes you care about most. It's easy ... every time you search the Internet at GoodSearch.com, your charity or school earns money and the more you search, the more they make. Add up the money generated from all your searches and those done by the millions of other people who we hope will use GoodSearch, and we can make a real difference to the people and causes that need funds most.
How is this possible? GoodSearch is a search engine which donates 50-percent of its revenue to the charities and schools designated by its users. It's a simple and compelling concept. You use GoodSearch exactly as you would any other search engine. Because it’s powered by Yahoo!, you get proven search results. The money GoodSearch donates to your cause comes from its advertisers — the users and the organizations do not spend a dime!
Where does the money come from? Search engines make most of their money from companies that pay an advertising fee when users click on links during a search. At GoodSearch, we've developed a patent-pending way to track and direct these search-generated proceeds to charities. In other words, a portion of advertiser dollars (and not your own!) earned as a result of your search, are now passed along to the organization you've chosen to support.
How much does SMART earn? SMART earns 1 cent for every search. Doesn’t seem like much, but it adds up quick!
What stops people from clicking just to raise money for their charity? What is meant by fraudulent searching? We ask that you use this 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 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.

Each applicant must propose to provide at least three of the services listed at each participating full service elementary or secondary school.
Because interagency collaborative efforts are highly complex undertakings and, as such, require extensive planning and communication among partners and key stakeholders, applicants receiving funding under this priority may devote funds received during the first year of the project period to comprehensive program planning. If a grantee uses the first year’s funding for planning, funding received during the remainder of the project period must be devoted to program implementation. This is the first grant competition for this program under the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 and, therefore, qualifies for this exemption. In order to ensure timely grant awards, the Secretary has decided to forgo public comment on the eligibility requirements, priority, application requirements, and selection criteria under section 437(d)(1) of GEPA. The eligibility requirements, priority, application requirements, and selection criteria will apply to the FY 2008 grant competition only.
Program Authority: 20 U.S.C. 7243-7243b.
