It's been around for some time, but I just [ran across GoodSearch.com][1], a Yahoo-powered search engine that donates half of its ad revenue to charity. Each time a user searches GoodSearch.com, 50 percent of the advertising revenue is donated to a charity designated by the user.

To use GoodSearch, just enter the charity you want to support in the provided field, and then enter your search. You can change the designated charity as often as you like and there's even browser based toolbars available for download.

The results will be the same as those returned on Yahoo (a Google option would be nice), so you don't have to feel like you're missing anything in the results and you'll be helping the charity of your choice earn money.

GoodSearch can also be used to donate money to schools. There are currently over 23,000 charities and schools listed on the site.

Thanks to [LifeHacker][2] for pointing me to the site.
