Tremont Joins Goodsearch

(Great Smoky Mountains) – Great Smoky Mountains Institute at Tremont is a non-profit that is growing exponentially. As with many non-profits that must raise funds to keep costs in control and build funds for special projects Tremont has joined GoodSearch.com to help those efforts.

Using GoodSearch is simple. Because the site is powered by Yahoo, users are assured of high quality results - but each time you search, money is generated by the advertisers for your favorite charity or school. 

“We know there are a lot of people who want to do good but may not have the time or the money to help out.” said Meredith “GoodSearch makes it as easy as possible.  We’ve taken something people do every day -- searching the Internet -- and have turned it into doing good."

If even a fraction of the $8 billion generated by search engine advertisers was distributed to organizations trying to make the world a better place would definitely help non-profits in their missions to do so. That is the concept behind a new search engine, developed by Internet entrepreneurs and brother sister team Ken and JJ Ramberg.  GoodSearch.com – powered by Yahoo – donates 50% of its revenue, approximately a penny per search, to the charities designated by its users.  You use it exactly as you would any other search engine and the pennies add up quickly – just 500 people searching four times a day will earn around $7,300 in a year!

More than 40,000 nonprofits are now actively generating revenue via the site and more than 100 new charities and schools are registering daily. GoodSearch has quickly spread via word-of-mouth and the blogger community.

“Internet users have found GoodSearch to be a compelling idea, states Meredith P. Goins, development director for Tremont. “I have to make at least 20 or more searches a day to gather information for my job. Who wouldn’t use it? GoodSearch.com makes donating easy.”
