New York, NY, July, 2011 – No need to pull out your wallet to donate to your favorite cause this year – supporters are revolutionizing charitable giving this holiday season by ensuring that a percentage of every purchase they make is going back to their favorite nonprofit or school. In addition, these shoppers are getting access to great money-saving deals and coupons.
How? By using GoodShop.com.
GoodShop.com works with more than 3,000 top online retailers including Toys “R” Us, Target, Best Buy, Apple, Sephora, Macy’s, 1-800-Flowers, PetSmart, and Expedia among others. The shopping experience and prices are the same as going to the retailer directly, but each time you shop at one of these stores via GoodShop, a percentage of what you spend goes back to your favorite charity or school. And, even more exciting, GoodShop.com offers over 100,000 money saving coupons and free shipping offers. So, not only are you helping your cause, but you are also saving money while doing so.
Similarly, with every search conducted on Yahoo!-powered GoodSearch.com, approximately one penny is donated to your favorite charity. It’s used exactly like any other search engine and the pennies add up quickly!

Ellen Winter, a lawyer in North Carolina, uses GoodSearch and GoodShop to support The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation: “I do so much shopping around the holidays and it makes me feel really good to know that every time I buy a present, I’m helping the CFF. Not to mention, I’ve saved a lot of money myself with the coupons I found on GoodShop!”
