WINNEMUCCA - Many people say they would love to be able to donate to any number of organizations, especially local organizations that help families in need in our area, but during these tough economic times struggle to find enough to meet their own needs, let alone extra to spare.
What if it's possible to donate to Humboldt Advocates of Victims of Abuse-Tri-County Court Appointed Special Advocates, a local nonprofit organization that helps with the prevention, education and the advocacy against relationship abuse, sexual violence, bullying, child abuse and neglect, without putting a big dent in your pocketbook?
It's possible, not only during the holiday season, but all year long, thanks to Goodsearch.com.
Goodsearch is a toolbar powered by Yahoo that donates 50 percent of its revenue to the charity of the searcher's choice, which means every time you search for something you can donate a penny and it costs you nothing!
When you download the Goodsearch toolbar, you will be asked to designate an organization. As of September 2013 there were more than 107,000 nonprofits participating. If you search Advocates for Victims of Abuse Humboldt AVA, all proceeds will help local people.
If you think that a penny won't make a difference, imagine how many times a day you search on the Internet. Every penny adds up and every penny can mean the world to someone. Once you designate the organization you will be able to view how much has been earned.
Goodsearch has added an additional way to donate by creating Goodshop. Goodshop is an online shopping mall that provides an easy way to not only help your favorite organization but also to help yourself. Goodshop was launched by Goodsearch in 2007 and is now affiliated with more than 2,800 online retailers.
By shopping these retailers on Goodshop, you will find discounts and coupons that will allow you to save money while helping your cause to earn money. Each retailer offers different percentages of your total purchase price that get donated - up to 30 percent!
The more supporters of these applications we can get, the more that we can raise without ever having to spend anything extra. If 100 people that spend $500 annually shopping online were to add Goodshop and designate Advocates of Victims of Abuse (Humboldt AVA) as the nonprofit of choice, the organization could earn $1,500 per year.
That amount goes up with each person that uses Goodsearch or Goodshop. Each of us can make a difference.
