LOS ANGELES, CA - Supporters of Pencils For Kids, Inc., can now raise funds for the nonprofit organization simply by visiting GoodSearch.com and GoodShop.com.
 
Starting this October, the popular websites added Pencils for Kids, Inc. to their listings of qualified charitable organizations that can receive donations when people visit their sites.
 
Founded in 2007, Pencils for Kids, Inc. provides critically needed school supplies to young children in developing countries so they can attend school, something many of their families can't afford.

In the same way, a percentage of each purchase made through GoodShop.com goes to the nonprofit.
 
"We know that a pencil can change a child's life forever," said Loretta Jitner, founder of Pencils for Kids, Inc. "We are thrilled by our partnership with GoodSearch.com and GoodShop.com, which will make it easier for everyone to help us reach out to children who simply want to go to school."
