by Wendy Huffman of the Let's Make the Difference Charity

Most of us all will be using Amazon to check off Christmas gifts off our shopping list, but did you know Amazon wants to give Christmas Cheer too? AmazonSmile is the philanthropic arm of Amazon where vetted and qualified nonprofits can be listed so those aligned with their vision can point Amazon which charities to give to.

When you direct Amazon to your favorite charity, Amazon will give donations, up to 0.05% of your purchases! IT COST YOU NOTHING, and it takes only a few moments to set up and attach it to your Amazon account. For the next 6 months, Amazon will donate up to 0.05% of all your eligible purchases to the charity of your choice, in which time you need to select them again to keep it active.

That may not seem like much~ but it adds up! The amount Amazon has donated through Amazon.smile is $321,230,298.08 as of August 2021!

There are over 1 million nonprofits listed on AmazonSmile!

You can make your Amazon purchases bring even more cheer and do even more good in the world! Go to https://smile.amazon.com and choose a charity (Let’s Make THE Difference, hint,hint,hint) from the dropdown list after setting up your account.

If you choose Let's Make the Difference, you can join with us in making the difference in the world: to level the playing field in low-income countries, support leadership with community centers providing access to technology, education and economic opportunities for those is challenging economies!

Thank you!

From all of us at Let's Make the Difference, Nashville TN
