Aloha  All, 

Here are instructions (and more information) regarding how to donate to
National Federation Of the Blind of Hawaii whenever you shop on Amazon:

 


How do I shop at AmazonSmile?


To shop at AmazonSmile simply go to smile.amazon.com
<http://smile.amazon.com/>  from the web browser on your computer or mobile
device. You may also want to add a bookmark to smile.amazon.com
<http://smile.amazon.com/>  to make it even easier to return and start your
shopping at AmazonSmile.


How do I support National Federation of the Blind of Hawaii  when shopping
on AmazonSmile?


On your first visit to AmazonSmile (smile.amazon.com
<http://smile.amazon.com/> ), select/type in "National Federation of the
Blind of Hawaii." Amazon will remember your selection, and then every
eligible purchase you make at smile.amazon.com <http://smile.amazon.com/>
will result in a donation.


Which products on AmazonSmile are eligible for charitable donations?


Tens of millions of products on AmazonSmile are eligible for donations. You
will see eligible products marked "Eligible for AmazonSmile donation" on
their product detail pages. Recurring Subscribe-and-Save purchases and
subscription renewals are not currently eligible.


Can I use my existing Amazon.com account on AmazonSmile?


Yes, you use the same account on Amazon.com and AmazonSmile. Your shopping
cart, Wish List, wedding or baby registry, and other account settings are
also the same.


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.


No Cost to Customers or Charitable Organizations


There is no cost to charitable organizations or to AmazonSmile customers.
Customers will have access to the same products, features, services, and
great low prices as on Amazon.com. The shopping experience is identical to
Amazon.com with the added benefit that the AmazonSmile Foundation will
donate 0.5% of the purchase price from eligible AmazonSmile purchases to
charitable organizations selected by customers.
