Amazon Smile Program FAQ

Here's a very easy way to start donating to a cause.

Time to set up: 2 minutes
Distance from computer: 0

1. If you already have an Amazon.com account go to: smile.amazon.com
2. It should give you a pop-up that asks if you want to pick a charity. Click yes, and you'll go to their sign up page. They'll have some popular ones autofilled, but you can search for others, including the ACLU and Planned Parenthood.

Do note that these two, and probably others, are organized by local chapter, and it may be a little overwhelming to pick one office from pages and pages of choices. I recommened donating to one in your city or state - supporting your community at home - or picking one in a state known to have issues that your charity is trying to make better. Ex. I picked a Planned Parenthood to support in Texas. Remember, you can always change your choice later.

3. Last step - Very Important! - change your amazon.com bookmark to smile.amazon.com -- Amazon only donates if you are on the smile.amazon.com site. Your account looks and functions exactly the same, and prices on your purchases do not go up. Only certain item are eligible, and starting out it seems like it's not a huge a donation, but every little bit helps.
