Help Support The Independent Living Center Online
GoodSearch 

GoodSearch is a search engine which donates 50 percent of its sponsored search revenue to the charities and schools designated by its users. You use GoodSearch exactly as you would any other search engine. Because it's powered by Yahoo!, you get proven search results. The money GoodSearch donates to your cause comes from its advertisers — the users and the organizations do not spend a dime!

In 2007, GoodSearch was expanded to include GoodShop, an online shopping mall of world-class merchants dedicated to helping fund worthy causes across the country. Each purchase made via the GoodShop mall results in a donation to the user's designated charity or school – averaging approximately 3% of the sale, but going up to 20% or even more.

Help support our cause when shopping online by adding GoodSearch to your browser. After you choose INDEPENDENT LIVING CENTER (JOPLIN, MO) you pick where you want to shop and it sends you to the regular website. If everyone searched the internet using GoodSearch and shopped using GoodShop it would help us greatly!! Thanks so much!
