Howard Lake | 7 November 2006 | Newswire

Everyclick.com, the search engine that gives 50% of its revenues to charities, is fast becoming part of many companies’ CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) programmes. The London Stock Exchange, AXA Life and Cadbury Schweppes have all recently signed up with what is now the UK’s fastest growing search engine and busiest charity related website

Everyclick.com is a hassle-free addition to the CSR programmes that most companies now run. It allows people to raise money for charity while they are working and at no cost to the employee, the charity or the employer.

By adopting everyclick.com as a company search engine, employees can generate cash for the chosen corporate charity every time they use the internet. And the potential for fundraising is enormous – everyday 161,290,322* searches take place on the internet generating a huge revenue stream from online advertisers.

Jon Weedon, Internal Communications Manager at The London Stock Exchange said: This is a great idea. We are really looking forward to getting Everyclick up and running at the Exchange. It looks like a great way of raising additional funds for our partner charity, Brainwave.”

Polly Gowers, MD at Everyclick said: Companies recognise the benefits of a CSR programme to staff morale, brand reputation and business growth. Everyclick offers them a simple but highly effective way of generating funds for charity. We know that most search is conducted during business hours and we’re just offering a way for companies to benefit charities as well as themselves. ”
