If you are a heavy shopper on Amazon like some of the others, including me, Amazon has a service calls Amazon Smile, where they would donate to an organization that you like and donate any commission that they made through your purchases on Amazon without costing you anything. The more stuff you purchase on Amazon, the more money they give to the organization you prefer, and it doesn’t cost you anything because they use the commission (some percent) from your total to that organization. Hence, every time you decide to do some shopping on Amazon, be sure to use the Amazon Smile service! It does keep track of how much funds they have donated to the organization you preferred through your purchases so you can get an idea of how much you have donated without giving anything and that whatever you buy on Amazon, they take some percent from the totals to donate to that organization.
To do so, you can visit this link: smile.amazon.com
Once you get to it, it will ask you which organization you would like to donate through Amazon that every time you spend on Amazon, and it has a field search where you can type for the organization that you would like to donate. At first, Amazon will show their preferred organizations, and it is not all the organizations that you can donate some funds to through your shopping on Amazon, as there is a search field there that you can type the name of the organization and then select that organization that you found then from there you can start donating some funds to that organization at any time that you have brought something from Amazon!
I have chosen the Kentucky Association of the Deaf, just started using the Smile Amazon recently. Since that, I have found out that this was a thing I will continue donating all the funds to Kentucky Association of the Deaf through my shopping on Amazon which I often do so Kentucky Association of the Deaf should start seeing a decent donation coming from Amazon especially in an annual contribution through me and other Amazon shoppers who use the Smile Amazon if they chose Kentucky Association of the Deaf too. If you don’t want to keep on donating the funds to one organization, you can change to a different organization for Amazon to donate through your shopping. Still, you would have to change your preferred organization on Smile Amazon every time before you buy something on Amazon, and the only time that they would be counted is if you use the Smile.Amazon.com every time instead of the main Amazon.com.
Again, all you have to do is type smile.amazon.com, then click the “supporting” text link below the Amazon’s search field on top and click the “change” beside an organization name if there are any. Once you have selected the organization that you would like Amazon to donate using a percent of your purchases, then you search whatever products that you want to buy from Amazon like you would do as if it is Amazon and when you are finished shopping then make sure that you are still on the smile.amazon.com URL address, then go to your cart and pay for the products! After that is done, a percent of the total from your purchases will be donated to whatever organization you selected, and you can find out by hovering or click on that orange “supporting” text on the top below the search field. Every time you decide to buy something from Amazon, be sure to visit smile.amazon.com instead of main amazon.com and just start shopping from there so that every purchase you make there will be some percent of every purchase you made goes to that same organization you have previously selected unless you decided to change a different organization for Amazon to donate every time.
This is great for anyone who doesn’t have a lot of money to donate anything to an organization but has enough money to pay for essential products such as foods or supplies now can donate an organization through Amazon without any extra as they take a percent of the totals. They will not charge you for anything to donate; all they do is take a small percent of whatever that you already paid for the stuff on Amazon and donate that percent to the organization you want, so it is a win-win! If you need any help or if you are confused about this, then please feel free to leave a comment below or ask me on social media.
Again, the link to Amazon Smile is smile.amazon.com, or you can just remember smile dot amazon dot com. Happy shopping and donating at the same time!
