In addition to the hundreds of click-to-give for free sites, there are also click-
to-give-for-free search engines. Every click-through you make following a search
on the site generates a small donation to charity, say the sites. For example, visit
cgoogle.com (nothing to do with the similarly-named search engine), fgive.com and
the strikingly similar jgive.com.

In addition to the hundreds of click-to-give for free sites, there are also click-
to-give-for-free search engines. Every click-through you make following a search
on the site generates a small donation to charity, say the sites. For example, visit
[cgoogle.com](http://www.cgoogle.com/") (nothing to do with the similarly-named 
search engine), [fgive.com](http://www.fgive.com) and the strikingly similar [jgive.com.](http://www.jgive.com)

 

 

 

 

The US search site Cgoogle, for example, says “We guarantee that at least 95% of
the net revenue will go to charity.” The Cgoogle.com URL delivers visitors to another
site, the Charity Pot. “C” incidentally stands for “charity.”

 

 

 

 

In practice it seems that these search sites are simply affiliate sites of the search
engines who choose to donate a proportion of their affiliate income to selected 
charities.
