In an attempt to become the next big search engine, GoodSearch offers a compelling reason to quit Googling. It contributes financially to charities based on your searches: Fifty percent of the revenue generated from advertisers is shared with the charity, school, or nonprofit organization of your choosing.
GoodSearch (powered by Yahoo!) has a simple tag line: "You Search We Give." And with 78,000 non-profits available and 100 new ones being added a day, they really mean it. Don't see your charity or school listed? You can submit one. Want to know how much has been raised? Easy peasy. At the time of this post, $3,858.93 had been given to Compassion International. Not bad.
There are even browser add-ons to make GoodSearch easier to use. So if you're already using Yahoo! as your search engine, switching is a no-brainer. And unless you're just in love with Google, you might consider this way to help out the charities closest to your heart.

Great idea - I have long been a fan of Scour as a search engine since they pay the users for using it, but I like this idea better!
