download2donate.org - Google has a heart

Google and money are a match made in heaven. Now, this beautiful couple is having a baby named download2donate. The newborn is a brilliant website that displays free Google software programs and each time a program is downloaded a donation is made to the "current cause." Just click to download, get cool free Google software and feel great about doing nothing but somehow donating at the same time. The current cause right now is the Andre Agassi Charitable Foundation and the goal is $5,000. Once this goal is reached, a new "current cause" will begin. Recommendations for causes can be suggested at download2donate.com and will be considered for next cause. The organization is accepting ideas from groups affiliated with non-profit organizations, personal endeavors, education related causes, youth sports, etc. The unknowns of this site are how much money is donated and where the money comes from. However, since all that is asked is for site visitors to download free software, there's really nothing to lose.

"Download2Donate.org was established to give individuals across the globe an opportunity to help worthy causes without having the burden of giving a monetary donation. Donations are made on our end and require no contribution from our visitors. All we do is recommend useful Google tools that we believe would benefit all internet users."

Whether or not this will actually work is uncertain but users have absolutely nothing to lose by trying and they gain free software. This is always a great way to entice the greedy public.

To appeal to more people two very different causes could run at the same time and users could choose where their donation goes. Also, when a cause is about to reach it's goal, donload2donate.com could get great publicity by holding a poll to decide the next winning
cause.
