Something like three quarters of U.S. households have an Amazon Prime membership. If you’re going to shop at Amazon — as you probably already are! — please do it via Amazon Smile by starting your shopping at smile.amazon.com. Once you select your non-profit charity of choice, Amazon donates a portion (usually 0.5 percent) of every single order you place, with no change whatsoever to what you pay for whatever you’re purchasing, to your designated charity.
From an Amazon email I just received, which reminded me to remind y’all to use smile.amazon.com:
This is the quarterly notification to inform you that AmazonSmile has made a charitable donation to the charity you’ve selected, Second Amendment Foundation, in the amount of $27,282.20 as a result of qualifying purchases made by you and other customers between April 1st – June 30th.
Thanks to customers shopping at smile.amazon.com or using the Amazon app with AmazonSmile turned ON, everyday purchases make an impact. So far, AmazonSmile has donated:
$396,864.70Â to Second Amendment Foundation*
Over $377 million to US charities
Over $422 million to charities worldwide
Visit your AmazonSmile impact page to track donations generated or change your charity.
Visiting that page just now, it looks like I’ve managed to send $66.78 to SAF, at a cost of precisely $0 to me:
So, you know, if you shop at Amazon anyway it’s time to pick a Pro-Second Amendment charity of your choice and get on board with the whole Amazon Smile thing.
