We need to keep in mind that the companies paying for the side banners are the source of the charitable contributions that this site generates. :)
It's very easy to set searchkindly as your homepage so that you are generating support every time you open your web browser. It only takes a few seconds to type in your search or url and then, voila!, no more side banners. That said, make a point of checking out the ads every now and then to keep the ads coming!

I would like to nominate the charity Lifelong AIDS Alliance, which makes a huge difference to those living with HIV and AIDS in the Seattle area. They deliver wholesome meals, hold support groups, and more. It's a fantastic charity, and it has 501(c)3 status.

I've already contacted my friend who works there, and I'll let him know when it comes up for vote!

What's up with wet t-shirt girl on either side of the page? I thought this was a humanitarian site. Do I need to remove searchkindly from my bookmarks?

Man, there's alot of small donations this month. But, at least it's better than nothing.

Goodsearch only sends out checks once a year, and only if the charity made over $20. I know there are quite a few charities on there that are only making a few dollars each year, and they won't even see that.

Another reason why I like Search Kindly better. :)

Wow that's a lot of checks! I for one am glad we've been able to help so many people.

Out of curiousity though Syed why not pay everyone else first and then the two you mentioned in the blog? Would it be easier/mean more people get their money now?

--Well, the big checks get paid first because they have been waiting the longest--it's the only fair way to do it. --Syed

Thanks for the update on donations... It's good to know the money will be distributed soon to where it's needed most!

It's also good to know that recent changes aren't resulting in charities receiving donations less than $1-... I saw donatioins of $8- and $20- and $55- on that list !! good job !! it only seems small to us searchers because we are "rich!" (let's face it, we have the internet... we are rich!)

keep up the great work everyone :)

The flashing advertisement is horrible; I know there's not much you can do about it but OUCH!!!

By the way, I love this site! I encourage everyone to use it, however, the people I've sent here didnt like it because of the obnoxious side banners.

Thanks!

--I know, it's way too in-your-face. And like you said, there's not a lot we can do about. Thanks for sticking with us, though. --Syed

I noticed there is a lack of environmentally based charities on searchkindly. you might want to try:

Natural Resource Defense Council
http://www.nrdc.org/

Rainforest Action Network
http://ran.org/

thanks.

Was it the one for JumpStart? I couldn't find an e-mail for them either, although I did find some phone numbers. I don't have very good telephone communication skills, otherwise I would call them. lol.
