GoodSearch is an Internet search engine with a simple concept and unique social mission. GoodSearch enables you to help fund any of hundreds of thousands of charities or schools (including Arapahoe) through the simple act of searching the Internet. The company was founded by a brother and sister team who lost their mom to cancer and wanted to find an easy way for people to support their favorite causes.
It's simple. You use GoodSearch.com like any other search engine (they've partnered with Yahoo! to ensure great results), but each time you do, money is generated for Arapahoe High School. Last year search engines generated close to $8 billion in revenue from advertisers, now we can receive a piece of that.
We hope that not only will you consider using GoodSearch as your main search engine from here on out, but will also pass this message on to your friends and family. The more people who use this site, the more money will go to Arapahoe.
How to use GoodSearch in 2 Steps:
- Click here
(this will pre-populate Arapahoe High School) or, if you prefer, here and type in Arapahoe High School, click verify, then select Arapahoe High School from the choices listed.
- Search.
Your selection of Arapahoe High School will be saved on your computer. In the future, just visit GoodSearch and search. They've also recently added GoodShop , an online mall that donates an average of 3% of sales to the selected organization (in this case, AHS). You may also want to add a bookmark/favorite and/or download the GoodSearch toolbar . Once you add the Arapahoe High School toolbar for Internet Explorer or Firefox, each time you shop at one of the more than 1,300 participating stores, a percentage of what you spend will be donated to us at no extra cost to you! (you could even save money as the toolbar provides coupons and deals). The toolbar also has a search box and each time you search the Internet, about a penny is donated to us. No registration is required!
GoodSearch estimates that each search will generate approximately $0.01 for Arapahoe (last year we earned 1.3 cents per search, but it can vary). If all 2100+ students and their families searched just twice a day, that would generate over $15,000 a year. Time will tell whether that estimate is reasonable, but even if it generates significantly less than that, every little bit helps. Please give GoodSearch a try and see what you think.
