You Shop. Amazon Gives. Not enough shoppers know about AmazonSmile — it's a program that makes donations to your favorite charity at no extra cost to you. AmazonSmile is a program that donates 0.5% of your eligible purchases on Amazon to a charity of your choice. All you need to do is start your shopping at smile.amazon.com. The donation will be made at no extra cost to you and you can choose from nearly one million public charitable organizations. You shop as you normally would on the site, at no extra cost to you, and you don't need to make a separate account. Though 0.5% is not a large donation and it isn't intended to replace your regular charitable activities, AmazonSmile is still a great way to take advantage of a service you're using anyways. Whether you volunteer your time, make monetary donations, or participate in charitable events, you probably support an organization that aids those in need in some way or another.
