'''Rectifi''' is an online [[search engine]] which channels profits it earns to charity.
Rectifi was set up by Jonny Platt as a successor to ''GiveAsYouGet''. As well as a general search engine with sponsored adds, rectifi earns revenue through [[eBay]], and a [[Price_comparison_service|comparison shopping]] feature. The site also provides information on how to reduce pollution and make a difference to poverty in the developing world at home.
The charities that benefit are picked on a quarterly basis, and have included [[Voluntary Service Overseas]], [[World Development Movement]] and [[Greenpeace]].<ref>{{cite web | title = Donations | url = http://www.rectifi.org.uk/news/donations | accessdate = 2007-08-23}}</ref>. Platt has appeared on the [[BBC]]'s "[[Click Online]]" programme to help publicise the site.<ref>{{cite web | title=BBC News 24: Interview with site maker | url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/programmes/click_online/4146576.stm | date=2005-08-12 | accessdate = 2007-08-23}}</ref>
