How to Effortlessly Give to Your Favorite Charity with AmazonSmile

Thanks to Amazon, giving to your favorite charity is easier than ever, and it won’t cost you a penny.

Amazon’s charitable arm, AmazonSmile, is a website where you can enjoy all the products and perks of Amazon.com with the added bonus that Amazon will donate a portion of the purchase price to a charitable organization of your choosing. For every eligible product you buy, AmazonSmile will donate 0.5% of the purchase price to your chosen charity, without charging you an extra dime! You can also use your existing Amazon.com account to shop at AmazonSmile. The only real change to shopping at AmazonSmile is using a new URL.

Making the switch to shopping at AmazonSmile is simple. When you first visit the site, you’ll be prompted to choose your charity on the spot. However, you have the option to change your charity at any time.
