how GOOD grows

You can make a bigger positive impact with Yahoo!

What if your actions could
grow into something bigger?

At Yahoo!, we believe simple actions can add up to big impact. We give people the online products and the right context to help them take action to make the world a better place. And given the size of our audience, over 600 million people every month, we can create action at a large scale. We also innovate in our company practices and policies to help encourage the entire industry to move in a positive direction. Part of our efforts also includes empowering our employees to have a greater impact on the community by working together. No matter who you are, you can make a more powerful difference with Yahoo!. That’s How Good Grows.

What are the causes Yahoo! users care most about?

All of us at Yahoo! have seen firsthand the incredible generosity of our audience. Our users donated more than $7M to relief efforts after the Japanese earthquake and tsunami and have rallied together to support important causes like breast cancer research. But we wanted to dig deeper. What are the causes Yahoo! users care most about? How do they support those causes? How can Yahoo! enable our users to make an even greater impact on the world? We set out to find these answers by surveying more than 3,500 Yahoo! users — we call them Yodelers. See the infographic.
