Amazon smile charity donations

[MGnoob]

Everybody who uses Amazon should be sure they’re set up with Amazon smile.

 

[Cartoons]

That's who my smile goes to, too.

 

[RumRunner]

Same here

 

[ReluctantDecoy]

I like the thought of making Amazon donate to 2A causes. I dislike the thought of them being the ones to get the tax write off, to the point that I'd rather just donate directly out of pocket.

 

[enbloc]

Good on you!

 

[Knuckle Dragger]

That's who my smile goes to, too.

Me too And I've been hemorrhaging cash to Amazon for the last 18 months.

Is there an easy way to make web-browsing purchases always smile-eligible?

I've noticed that everything bought in the phone app is automatically smile-ized, but I have to manually change out the "www." for "smile." if I want to trigger the donation when buying via Chrome.

 

[rscalzo]

I've sent them to my favorite dog rescue organization for years.

On Chrome it always asks if I want it to be on smile whenever I click a link. Probably because I'm already logged into Amazon in another tab.

It should default to smile every time, I have no idea why it tries to make you not do it, I’ve screwed up so many times on large purchases.
If you just bookmark smile, and always click on the bookmark instead of typing in Amazon you’ll get the donation every time

The last year I’ve made a real attempt not to use Amazon so much. It’s way too easy to spend too much money. And I’m focused on other things.

 

[MGnoob]

And what rum runner said. I just posted this because I couldn’t believe how much I got donated.

I send mine to Spaulding Rehab

Again (I’ve posted this before) I find it interesting how this shows how much we spend on Amazon. My Smile donation goes to Comm 2A also, and looking at the current total that Amazon has contributed it says that, as of August 2020, Comm 2A has received $11,836.80. Since this represents %0.5 of what we spent (on qualifying items) it means those of us contributing have spent $2,367,360.00, over two and a quarter million dollars, on Amazon .

 

[hminsky]

I'm signed up to send the Smile donation to Society for Animal Rescue and Adoption , a no-kill animal shelter near Austin TX.
I send something to Comm 2A when I can, they're the real deal.

 

[AFAR/PFAR]

Mine is set to the USO

 

[PL-52]

Mine is set to Comm2a, has been since I signed up for Smile many moons ago Paleface.

That's nothing, as of Sept. all US charities have received $215,721,458.97 in donations.

For those that choose not to use Amazon, you're already giving them money(albeit indirectly) because of AWS.

AmazonSmile's impact:

$13,287.15 to Commonwealth Second Amendment Inc

 

[Individualist]

That’s a good start. Should be 10x that.

That's awesome. But at $250/hr for lawyers, it's not the whole game.

 

[NHKevin]

My smile goes to SAF.

Second Amendment Foundation

The Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) is dedicated to promoting a better understanding about our Constitutional heritage to privately own and possess firearms. To that end, we carry on many educational and legal action programs designed to better inform the public about the gun control debate.

[Nightshift]

I've sent them to my favorite dog rescue organization for years.

Same. My current and last pup came from unfortunate circumstances and they are/were GREAT companions!!!

 

[Broc]

That's awesome. But at $250/hr for lawyers, it's not the whole game.

But that is in the past month. (As of November 2020)

Since probably 1% of MA gun owners donate to Comm2A, everything helps.

 

[Blackmore]

SAF for me

 

[Coyote33]

Is Comm2A still on Amazon Smile? I did a search, and it isn't coming up.

 

[RumRunner]

Yes, search for the full name: Commonwealth Second Amendment Inc

 

[Coyote33]

I see it now. It is clipped off a little. It is way over on the left with orange colored "Supporting:" and white "Commonweal..."

Maybe it wasn't coming up in search because I already chose it.

 

[PL-52]
