Ive just found this
Good Tree web portal It is a web portal powered by Google and Yahoo that allows you to search the tinterweb and give to charities that you select...for free!! They dont ask for money.
What a brilliant idea!
If anyone more in the know about such things would care to take a look and let me know if its ok or not...I dont know why someone didnt think of this before..love it!
Hope ive posted this in the right place!

Finally something I know a little something about!!! I had a message about a similar site that I posted at BC some time ago. There is a site called "Good Search", and if you use it to search the web every time you do they make a donation of 1 cent to the charity or organization of your choice. I have Sjogren's Sydrome which is an autoimmune disorder. It's chronic and there's no cure. Your white cells turn against your own body and with Sjogren's they affect your moisture making glands, ie: your salivary glands and the moisture glands for the nose,ears and eyes. Sjogren's is also systemic which means it can affect any organ in the body and it is also a chronic inflammitory disease.
Everytime I do a web search I go through Good Search and it just takes a few seconds,you just put in your organizations name. I looked at the site you linked to and it looks like it operates on a very similar basis as Good Search. They are both very worth while sites and every penny helps to go toward research for cures and medications for diseases and also for other charitable organizations. I'm glad you found it and you're right it is a good thing that they have going and you can help so many others by using the site.
