The Institute for Responsible Online and Cell-Phone Communication’s Supporters Turn to Innovative Fundraising Sites to Prevent Cyber Bullying, Sexting and Cyber Issues

Each time someone searches the web or shops online, a donation is made to The Institute for Responsible Online and Cell-Phone Communication through Findonate.com and GoodSeach.com

Mount Laurel, NJ, January 29, 2012 --(PR.com)-- The Institute for Responsible Online and Cell-Phone Communication’s supporters are revolutionizing charitable giving – turning their every day actions into ways of stopping cyber bullying, sexting and online child exploitation.

How? By using Findonate.com, GoodSearch.com and GoodShop.com.

GoodShop.com works with more than 3,000 top online retailers including Toys “R” Us, Target, Best Buy, Apple, Sephora, Macy’s, 1-800-Flowers, PetSmart, and Expedia among others. The shopping experience and prices are the same as going to the retailer directly, but each time you shop at one of these stores via GoodShop, a percentage of what you spend goes back to your favorite charity or school. And, equally as exciting, GoodShop.com offers over 100,000 money saving coupons and free shipping offers. So, not only are you helping your cause, but you are also saving money while doing so.

Similarly, with every search conducted on Yahoo!-powered GoodSearch.com and Findonate.com, approximately one penny is donated to IROC2.org. It’s used exactly like any other search engine and the pennies add up quickly.

Search engine advertisers and online shopping generate billions of dollars each year. Now, some of that money is going towards helping the Institute continue providing schools and communities across the United States and Canada with IROC.org’s award winning digital safety and responsibility workshops preventing cyber bullying, sexting, and other digital issues.

More than 100,000 nonprofits have partnered with GoodShop and GoodSearch and millions of people are using these sites to help their causes. GoodSearch and GoodShop have raised nearly $8 million -- helping make a real difference for the organizations they work with!

GoodSearch and GoodShop have grown into a massive online grassroots movement attracting the attention of leaders in the nonprofit industry, students, bloggers, writers, and even celebrities who have all created videos on behalf of their favorite charities.

The GoodSearch and GoodShop team is revolutionizing online philanthropy so that no one is denied the opportunity to support the causes most important to them. “We have taken simple everyday actions, like searching and shopping, and turned them into ways people can do good with just the click of a mouse,” says Scott Garell, CEO of GoodSearch (and former President of Ask.com). “Around the holidays when everyone is thinking ‘how can I give back,’ GoodSearch provides an easy and meaningful way to fund causes most important to them.”
