Title: Amazon Smile
Post by: OJsDad on April 21, 2018, 08:36:13 AM
Don't know if this has been posted before, but Amazon has a charity donation program tied to your purchases.  If you go to http://amazonsmile.com you can link your account to a charity.  Amazon will donate half a percent of your purchase price to your designated charity.  These don't need to be national groups that you donate to.  Our school has an academic alliance group that setup as a charity with Amazon that I was able to link to.  I know plenty of people here buy from Amazon, so why not have some of it go to a good cause.

The only that is different, is that you have to go to smile.amazon.com to make your purchases and not the standard amazon.com.

I've been using Smile to donate to Autism research for a while now. When I accidentally log in to the site from someone's link and not directly to smile.amazon.com the site actually reminds me with the proper link.  O0

I appreciate the information.  It is going to take quite a bit of time to figure out if my Catholic Charity region is on the list since it goes on for 28 pages and did not come up in the search.
