If the problem persists, you may be using an outdated browser version. Although we work hard to accommodate the most recent versions of the most widely-used browsers, making the site function with very old or outdated browser versions requires a heavy investment in both time and resources. As such, GreaterGood has made a conscious decision to stop supporting very old versions in order to focus our resources on supporting our partner charities. Our goal is to support them in their ongoing efforts to help people, animals, and the environment.

We continue to support many of the most recent versions of popular browsers, but if you are using Internet Explorer 7 or earlier, or an old version of an uncommon browser, your experience on our website may be affected.

Network advertising on The Literacy Site helps cover the costs of running the site. We do not accept advertising for gambling, animal breeders, pornography, liquor, firearms, or tobacco products. We do not accept ads we believe to be deceptive, ads from spammers, politically charged and biased ads, or ads inappropriate to our mission. However, we do run network ads, and while we try to block ads that violate our standards, some ads are not screened before they run and there may be occasions when inappropriate ads are shown.

The best way to help us block an inappropriate or politically charged ad is to send the URL and a screenshot of the ad tocustomerservice@greatergood.com. You can right-click the ad to copy the URL, and you can use the "snipping tool" in Windows or command+shift+4 on a Mac to activate a selection tool that will create a screenshot. With this information, we will be much better equipped to find the offending advertiser among the many legitimate ads that appear, and block it from our sites. We genuinely appreciate your help, and value your feedback.

Our "Click To Give" websites give people a simple, quick, and easy way to make a difference daily. Our first "Click To Give" website, The Literacy Site, was launched in 1999. Since then we have added many more. To date, activities on this website and others at GreaterGood have given more than $80 million to charity.

In just a few seconds each day, visitors can click on the large colored button on each home page and, at no cost to them, support causes they care about. Donations are paid for by the website's sponsors and distributed by Greater Good Charities and its charity partners.

To learn more about current projects supported by these programs, please see the GreaterGood blog.

100% of sponsor advertising fees goes to our charitable partners.

Every GreaterGood store offers a wide array of items that support your cause. A portion of every purchase is donated to a charity in the cause you care most about. Just by selecting where you shop, you direct this donation to hunger and poverty relief, animal rescue, fighting breast cancer, or one of the other causes at GreaterGood.

Together, your free daily click and your purchasing power through GreaterGood's web stores create a powerful, positive force for good.

When you click on the homepage button, your click is counted by our servers and you move to the Thank You page, where you will see small ads for our site sponsors. There is no charge to you; the click donation is fully paid for by these sponsors.

100% of sponsor advertising fees goes to our charitable partners.

These donations are distributed to our charity partners throughout the year by the 501c3 nonprofit Greater Good Charities. The more people who click, the more we can give.

Site sponsors purchase small ads on the Thank You page for a certain amount of time. GreaterGood then tabulates the number of people who click during that time frame and bill the sponsor for the appropriate amount.

100% of sponsor advertising fees goes to our charitable partners.

We count the number of clicks each day. The amount paid for those clicks is based on the type and structure of advertising agreement the site sponsors have with GreaterGood.

The two keys to the success of the "Click To Give" program are site sponsors and visitors like you. The more visitors who click each day, the more advertising fees we can collect and the more we can give to others!

You can click 12 times a day, every day of the year on GreaterGood's Click to Give™ sites. Our system counts 12 clicks, per person, per calendar day. A monitoring system is set up to check this. While you could click on the button ten or a hundred or a thousand times, we will only count 12 clicks from you. In the meantime, our system could be slowed down, possibly overloaded, preventing other visitors' clicks from being counted. Please note that we count clicks received through company firewalls, proxy servers, etc., to the best of our ability. We count every click as fairly and accurately as possible.

Please see ourResults — How You're Helping pagefor a detailed breakdown of support generated for this website. When hundreds of thousands of people click daily, we raise funds for the equivalent of millions of cups of food distributed, acres of rainforest saved, hundreds of people helped, and so much more. And it all starts with a single click from you!

GreaterGood stores allow you to give even more back to your favorite cause! Every time you purchase one of the 7000+ products that we carry, including jewelry, apparel, and gifts, you're making a donation to charity -- at no extra cost to you! For each item purchased in one of GreaterGood's online stores, we give a portion of the item's retail price to charity. Many of our items also support specific fair trade or nonprofit associations in addition to this donation. Read the item description to learn more.

We partner with an independently run 501c3 nonprofit, Greater Good Charities, to oversee the distribution of all charitable funding. 100% of the funds and additional support raised for charity by GreaterGood are distributed to our non-profit partner, Greater Good Charities. Grants are then paid by Greater Good Charities to charities and non-profit organizations implementing programs in Greater Good Charities' mission areas. All expenditures made are consistent with the exempt purposes of Greater Good Charities.

While you cannot donate to a website name, i.e. The Literacy Site or The Breast Cancer Site, you can support your favorite projects, charity partners, or causes through the Gifts That Give program hosted on any GreaterGood website. Just click on the link that says Gifts That Give More™ to make an online donation.

If you do not want to select a specific cause, charity, or project, you can make a general donation to Greater Good Charities, and their board will select the appropriate project or charity to support.

Greater Good Charities grants are focused on, but not limited to, addressing the health and well-being of people (particularly women and children), animals, and the planet. Greater Good Charities grants funds generated through GreaterGood websites to more than 130 charitable organizations worldwide responsible for implementing the programs and projects named on these sites.
