Your Back-to-School Shopping Can Benefit URWA
With gas prices high and the economy in a slump, not-for-profits are having trouble meeting their fundraising goals this year. In a show of support, more than 700 of your favorite internet retailers and travel sites including Amazon, eBay, Target, Apple, Expedia and more have joined forces with GoodShop.com - donating a percentage of all your purchases to your favorite charity at no additional cost to you! More than 63,000 not-for-profits and schools, including URWA, are now on-board!
It takes just a few seconds to go to www.goodshop.com, select your charity, and then click through to your favorite store and shop as usual. Yahoo has also teamed up with GoodShop's sister-site, GoodSearch.com, to donate a penny to your cause every time you search the web. This is totally free as the money comes from advertisers. To give you a sense of how the money can add up, the ASPCA has already earned more than $17,000!
