Raising Charity with Google

If you're trying to raise money for charity, search engines can help. On a forums thread, JohnMu shares information about two Google programs that you can apply to for donations for specific causes.

The first thing he talks about is Google Grants which is advertising for nonprofits. "Google Grant recipients use their award of free AdWords advertising on Google.com to raise awareness and increase traffic" which translates to free PPC. Sweet.

The other program is Google Checkout for Non-Profits which processes donations by charging credit or debit cards for free (until 2009).

I'd love to know if there are other search engine programs out there. If so, share them in the comments.

Forum discussion continues at Cre8asite Forums.

Hi Tamar

Everyclick isn’t exactly a program that turns clicks into donations - it's a search engine that raises money for good causes without users having to spend a penny [disclosure: I’m its CEO].

All you have to do is select the charity you want to help and search the Internet. Everyclick gives 50% of its gross revenue to charity each month – with each charity receiving a proportion of the funds equivalent to their level of supporters using Everyclick. Users who don’t select a specific charity benefit all charities on a pro rata basis.

So far we have raised over £300,000 for more than 170,000 causes raging from large global NGOs such as Save the Children through to small, local charities. Take a look. Polly
