Wanna help? Use Amazon Smile for donations

Overboost44 · Mar 25, 2019

I get these personal donation notices from Amazon in my email and by visiting my account. I have not seen one before that shows how much all contributors have donated. That is quite a nice sum. Anyone that has a Prime Account, pick your favorite 2A charity and make sure you shop through smile.amazon.com

This is your quarterly AmazonSmile donation notification. Your charity, Second Amendment Foundation, recently received a quarterly donation of $14,466.23 thanks to customers shopping at smile.amazon.com.

To date, AmazonSmile has donated a total of:
$100,785.10 to Second Amendment Foundation
$124,651,081.04 to all charities

Can MSI gain status as be approved as a charity and be an option for donations through Amazon? I am sure I am not the first person to suggest this, but I haven't seen it on here before.

I use smile to donate to SAF also. Today was the first time that I saw an email like the one above. 100K is not bad - but we can do better, right? :party29:

Haven't shopped much since I got this new computer and went looking on Second Amendment Foundation site for a link to Amazon, but saw nothing.

Thanks!

Once upon a time you needed a link off the charity's web site to activate the donation, but no more. Now you can designate the charity of your choice directly from your account settings within Amazon. Then, simply go to smile.amazon.com rather than just amazon.com and poof - a small portion of every purchase automatically goes directly to your charity.

I got the same email. It's not much in the grand scheme of things but every bit helps and it feels good to reach 100k. Imagine if all gun owners in America directly gave just $1/year. It would rival the megalomaniac billionaire's funding of civil rights infringing.

Not sure what you mean by that reference.

It was more of a joke since you weren’t donating to SAF like everyone else.

Jokes/sarcasm doesn’t translate on the internet when you can’t see faces or inflection.

I was actually kidding and applauding your choice of charity

Tried to hint at it with the emoji but you never can tell on the old internet

The problem is the Kindle uses it's own Amazon app that is always signed in, linked to my Amazon card. It is super effective at making it easy to earn points by buying all kinds of stuff quickly. :rolleyes:

But...there is no url to type in. It's just its own thing. I poked around in the account settings, but couldn't find any mention of smile. I'm not very techie anymore though

I'm hoping maybe someone here is.

I spend a lot this way, so it would be good to donate, too. I assumed that it kept my Smile preference from the computer, but I've never gotten the update email people are talking about. :tap:

Mine goes to Fisher House. I don't know if it works using the app on my phone.

Sticky · Mar 25, 2019

I donate to the SAF, every little bit helps!

Aventus · Mar 25, 2019

Project Veritas is my worthy cause. It isn't much but I hope they do some good with it!

sinzitu · Apr 19, 2019

SAF here as well. Been my choice since smile.amazon came online.

Stevie Boy · Apr 19, 2019

SAF is my charity designation also. I hope it helps.
