[il-talk] I did it - : Amazon Smile Is Here!

Sun Sep 7 16:54:20 UTC 2014

Thank you to Patti and Glenn for signing up for Amazon Smile!  For this 
fundraiser to be successful, we need to get lots of people to take part. 
Can we have five more people from this listserv sign up by the end of the 
day?  If you convince friends and relations to join, that counts, too.

Debbie

I signed up this morning.  It really is easy to do.  Please help NFBI by 
signing up for amazon smile and supporting the National Federation of the 
blind of illinois.

"Every day we raise the expectations of blind people in the National 
Federation of the Blind.  Live the Life You Want."

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
