"ASK JEEVES will donate all its profits from searches conducted"

and of course, if they don't happen to show a profit, no money gets donated.

now if they said they will donate from "gross" revenues that would be different.

Red Cross has enough money, they are just a bloated non-profit corp that occassionally spends money on helping people. Have you ever seen what their payroll is for their top administrators?

What happened to all the money they raised from 9/11? Take a guess.

If you want to give money to a charity that actually helps people, give it to the one that is always first on the scene and doesn't turn it into a PR opportunity: The Salvation Army.
