Turn Amazon purchases into charity donations


Did you know that Amazon has a charity that donates money whenever you make a purchase?

That’s right, the next time you’re on Amazon buying bulk underwear, you can get the world’s biggest online retailer to make a donation to the charity of your choice for you.

It’s called Amazon Smile, and it can give a little bit of meaning to your purchases.

To try it, go to smile.amazon.com and sign into your account.

You’ll then be asked to choose which charity you want Amazon to donate to when you make your purchases.

After that, just buy an item that says “Eligible for Amazon Smile donation” in the product description and Amazon will donate 0.5 percent of the total purchase price to your charity.

Congrats, you’re a philanthropist!
