I'm very pleased to announce a brand-new fundraiser for the NFB of Illinois.

The NFBI is now listed as an approved charity that can receive contributions
through Amazon Smile.  Amazon Smile is a program sponsored by Amazon.com
that allows purchasers to donate .5 % of their purchase amount to a chosen
organization.  As of today, the National Federation of the Blind of Illinois
is listed as one of the organizations that can receive donations through
Amazon Smile.

Granted, .5 % per dollar isn't much, but small amounts can add up quickly. 
Think of all the money you and your friends and relations spend at Amazon in
the course of the year.  Now half of one percent of the money you spend can
flow into our treasury. No products to sell, no raffle tickets to peddle. 
The NFBI simply collects money every time you buy a book or a birthday
present or a new set of pots and pans.

Here's how it works: When you wish to make a purchase from Amazon, go to
www.amazon.com/smile.  To register that you want your purchases to
contribute to the NFBI, enter on the link that says Your Account.  Then go
to Change Your Charity.  In the Edit box, type National Federation of the
Blind of Illinois.  Then enter on a button that says Select.  You can also
find us by arrowing down through the very long list of approved charities. 
Once you have made your selection, a popup appears to tell you that you have
selected the National Federation of the Blind of Illinois.  Dismiss it and
do your shopping!

Apart from the charitable contributions, Amazon Smile works exactly like
Amazon.com.  You can use the credit card that is already listed with Amazon.

Your password does not change.  You can use your Amazon gift certificates,
and you can browse through all of the departments and offerings you have
come to know on the standard site.  In fact, if you prefer to shop using the
simplified site that is adapted for screen readers and mobile devices, you
can make all of your selections there and save them in your shopping cart. 
Then go to Amazon Smile to complete your purchases.

Once you have selected the National Federation of the Blind of Illinois, you
will not need to do so again.  Each time you make a purchase through Amazon
Smile, you will see a message that you are making a gift to the National
Federation of the Blind of Illinois.  Please sign up, and urge your friends
and relatives to do the same!  Thanks in advance!

Debbie
