[NFBP-Talk] Amazon Smile for NFB of PA

Tue Aug 16 01:10:29 UTC 2022

I want to clarify how much Amazon gives to an organization from your transaction. It is 0.05% of the total sale, not $0.05. So if your total sale is $100, $0.50 will go to the charitable organization you have selected.

I hope that clarifies things. If you still choose not to shop via Amazon, I respect your decision.

                I STOPPED USING AMAZON SMILE WHEN I REALIZED THEY ARE ONLY DONATING $.05 OF EVERY PURCHASE TOWARDS A CHARITY.

Hello everyone!

I wanted to share a portion of an email I received this morning…

Dear Emily Gindlesperger,

This is the quarterly notification to inform you that AmazonSmile has made a charitable donation to the charity you’ve selected, National Federation of the Blind of PA, in the amount of $39.60 as a result of qualifying purchases made by you and other customers between January 1st-March 31st. 

Thanks to customers shopping at  <https://smile.amazon.com/gp/f.html?C=1MEMLUYYNQ976&K=1JE40ZHRGMNZQ&M=urn:rtn:msg:202208151609029cd8115d75df4ef78517ea3272b0p0na&R=26EIXTBI8GW0D&T=C&U=https%3A%2F%2Fsmile.amazon.com%2Fref%3Dpe_8705550_658065640_smi_em_l1_sml_disb_active_eng_mkt&H=7IVUZAMKA5PCENZZRVYDOMHBCAKA&ref_=pe_8705550_658065640_smi_em_l1_sml_disb_active_eng_mkt> smile.amazon.com or using the Amazon app with AmazonSmile turned ON, everyday purchases make an impact. 

…Isn’t that awesome!  I did nothing but purchase items I needed for the house and for Angelina going back to school and AmazonSmile sent a portion of my qualifying purchases to the affiliate!!

All you need to do is go to www.smile.amazon.com <http://www.smile.amazon.com> , register or create your Amazon account then pick National Federation of the Blind of PA.  When you shop, go through the www.smile.amazon.com <http://www.smile.amazon.com>  or like the email said the Amazon App with AmazonSmile turned ON then Amazon will do the rest!!

Every little bit helps and we greatly appreciate the support!!

Emily W. Gindlesperger
