I found a search engine that donates money to charities. They list Kiva as one that they support. I have emailed Kiva about this search engine so that they can check it out. Please check it out. http://www.goodsearch.com/ |

That kicks ass. They also have the plugins for the Firefox and IE search dropdowns - without that I'd never remember to use it, and would just stick to searching google from the dropdown.

We had a thread about this a while back, but I can't find it. I started using goodsearch in May, I find its a pretty good search engine, but they do filter some sites and I have to use google occasionally.
Is there a list of all the things you can do to support KIVA? I mean a summary thing so we don't have to go through forums, and have things like this search be missed. I'm thinking something like
- good search
- buy through igive
- etc...
something I can mail my friends. But someone will have to keep it updated as people figure out more things to do. Is it here and I just missed it?

I get up in the morning determined to both change the world and to have one hell of a good time. Sometimes, this makes planning the day difficult.

Thank you for your kind offer. I am sorry about not getting back sooner but work got real busy. If you could add a link for Goodsearch on the entry for Kiva Shopping Club-Other Kiva Sites or a link to OnLine Shopping that would be great! Hopefully people will click on the link, read the FAQ, and then decide if they want to use it to help Kiva.
Regards and thank you for your kind offer

I use goodsearch but find I have to keep putting in the Kiva.org site for the Charity. Is there a way to add it as the charity and have it come up all the time?
