What if you could donate to the WPVC Foundation without writing a check directly to the Foundation? Or what if you could be donating a percentage of your purchase just by shopping somewhere we all inevitably shop online...and do it without even thinking about it? No special click-through sites you have to remember or special codes to enter?
Have you ever heard of AmazonSmile?
"AmazonSmile is a simple way for you to support your favorite charitable organization every time you shop, at no cost to you. AmazonSmile is available at smile.amazon.com on your web browser and can be activated in the Amazon Shopping app for iOS and Android phones. When you shop with AmazonSmile, you’ll find the exact same low prices, vast selection and convenient shopping experience as Amazon.com, with the added benefit that AmazonSmile will donate 0.5% of your eligible purchases to the charitable organization of your choice. You can choose from over one million organizations to support."--AmazonSmile
Activating AmazonSmile is super easy too! All you do is go to smile.amazon.com in your browser (or activate in your Amazon app within Settings or Program & Features menu). Add a bookmark in your browser and you'll always be ready to passively donate as you shop!
You might be wondering how you select the charitable organization you'd like your donations to go to. If you've never used AmazonSmile you will be prompted to choose an organization to benefit from future purposes. You'll only have to do this once because Amazon will remember your selected organization for you. If you're a returning AmazonSmile user and want to switch your donations to WPVC Foundation you can switch organizations in your Settings section of the menu. Easy peasy! Every eligible purchase will generate a donation to WPVC Foundation! Donations are disbursed to the organization quarterly.
The holidays are approaching faster than we even realize, so check out AmazonSmile and let the WPVC Foundation be a part of all the online shopping fun! If you're having trouble getting set up, send us an email and we'll do our best to help you get through the process! Happy Shopping!
