Do you shop on Amazon? Would you like an easy, don’t-have-to-think-about it way to support Norwescon? Turns out that with the new AmazonSmile program, that’s incredibly easy to do! Just bookmark or save this Amazon link to use when you shop on Amazon, and 0.5% of eligible purchases will be donated to Norwescon. Once you have that link saved, there’s nothing more you need to do, as long as you start your shopping at smile.amazon.com.

Some FAQs from the AmazonSmile website:

What is AmazonSmile?

AmazonSmile is a website operated by Amazon that lets customers enjoy the same wide selection of products, low prices, and convenient shopping features as on Amazon.com. The difference is that when customers shop on AmazonSmile (smile.amazon.com), the AmazonSmile Foundation will donate 0.5% of the price of eligible purchases to the charitable organizations selected by customers.

How does AmazonSmile work?

When first visiting AmazonSmile, customers are prompted to select a charitable organization from almost one million eligible organizations. In order to browse or shop at AmazonSmile, customers must first select a charitable organization. For eligible purchases at AmazonSmile, the AmazonSmile Foundation will donate 0.5% of the purchase price to the customer’s selected charitable organization.

Is there any cost to charitable organizations or to customers?

No. There is no cost to charitable organizations or to AmazonSmile customers. The shopping experience is identical to Amazon.com with the added benefit that the AmazonSmile Foundation will donate to the charitable organizations selected by customers.
