Last year, search engines generated close to $8 billion in revenue from advertisers. GoodSearch has developed a way to direct some of that money to GFA World. It's easy—every time you search the Internet through GoodSearch.com, GFA receives a donation The more you search, the more funds are sent to GFA. Add up the money generated from all your searches and those done by the others who use GoodSearch, and we can make a real difference for the lost in Asia.
GoodSearch.com is powered by Yahoo! so you'll get high-quality search results!
GoodSearch estimates that each web search will generate approximately one cent for the GFA (image, video, Yellow Pages, and site-specific searches are not included). It quickly adds up! Here's an example of how much GFA can earn:
Size: |
Number |
Average Searches |
Estimated Revenue/Year |
Small |

$730 |
Medium |
1,000 |

$7,300 |
Large (GFA) |
10,000 |

$73,000 |
And the sky is the limit! The more people use GoodSearch, the more funds will be directed toward GFA. There is no cap on how much money GoodSearch will direct to GFA.
Search engines make most of their money from companies that pay an advertising fee when users click on links during a search. GoodSearch has 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 will be passed along to GFA.
No. GoodSearch provides people a way to support GFA at no cost. The money comes from the GoodSearch advertisers.
GoodSearch is a search engine with a unique social mission that involves generously giving back to charity with every Web search. They direct a minimum of 50 percent of revenues (this currently equates to about a penny per search) to the nonprofits designated by their audience.
All of your searches will count toward donations except for the following: 1) image searches; 2) video searches; 3) "search this site" searches; 4) searches for URLs (i.e., search terms ending in .com, .org, .net, .edu); 5) searches to sites for which the URL is well known such as HotMail, ESPN, MySpace, Facebook, GMail, AOL, etc.; 6) searches for stock quotes; 7) searches for word definitions; 8) Yellow Pages searches; 9) any searches generated from fraudulent use of the site.
Revenue raised by users who do not designate a specific charity will be used to fund GoodSearch operations.
After you have entered “GFA World” in the red “Get Started” box on GoodSearch’s homepage, just click on the “Amount Raised” button. Here you will see in real-time the number of searches and money raised.
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 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.
