I have posted this before, but please keep it in mind during your shopping over the next few days (and really always when using amazon)

instead of going to www.amazon.com

go to smile.amazon.com

quote:

AmazonSmile is a simple and automatic way for you to support your favorite charitable organization every time you shop, at no cost to you. When you shop at smile.amazon.com, you’ll find the exact same low prices, vast selection and convenient shopping experience as Amazon.com, with the added bonus that Amazon will donate a portion of the purchase price to your favorite charitable organization. You can choose from nearly one million organizations to support


quote:

How much of my purchase does Amazon donate?

The AmazonSmile Foundation will donate 0.5% of the purchase price from your eligible AmazonSmile purchases. The purchase price is the amount paid for the item minus any rebates and excluding shipping & handling, gift-wrapping fees, taxes, or service charges. From time to time, we may offer special, limited time promotions that increase the donation amount on one or more products or services or provide for additional donations to charitable organizations. Special terms and restrictions may apply. Please see the relevant promotion for complete details.

Can I receive a tax deduction for amounts donated from my purchases on AmazonSmile?

Donations are made by the AmazonSmile Foundation and are not tax deductible by you.


again, this does not cost you anything extra. it just makes it so that amazon donates a % of the purchase price to a charity of your choice.

you can choose from a number of charities such as:
St. Judes Children's Hospital
Wounded Warrior Project
Doctors Without Borders
World Wildlife Fund
ASPCA
and many more

Please take the forethought to use Amazon Smile during your holiday shopping time you would normally spend on amazon.

Many of these foundations really need the money and put it to good use.

i will take this opportunity to recommend the charity I use it for here in Columbia SC - Family Shelter - they provide temporary shelter for homeless children while helping families get back on their feet

There's also an extension in Chrome that will redirect you to smile.amazon.com anytime you visit an Amazon web page

I downloaded the extension for Chrome.

Works great. Is there anything like this for Firefox? Or Safari?
