Holiday Shoppers – Amazon Smile – Contributions for SAR!

Posted on November 7, 2022 by Tim Madden

How can something this easy be so helpful?

Amazon has a program called “Amazon Smile” where they credit part of the Seller transaction fees to the charity of your choice.

We hope that charity can be:  Cincinnati Chapter Sons of the American Revolution

Instead of typing http://www.amazon.com, please type in http://www.smile.amazon.com

From there, add Cincinnati Chapter Sons of the American Revolution as your favorite charity.

Here is the link for Amazon assistance in setting up.  Click on it:

https://smile.amazon.com/charity/smile/about?ref_=smi_se_dshb_aas_saas

Each time you buy something from Amazon using Amazon Smile, part of the fees Amazon charges Sellers will be credited to the Cincinnati Chapter of the SAR.

As Dire Straits once said “Money for Nothing”.  Easy peasy! 

The hardest part of this effort is the one time set up. See above link.

Followed by remembering to type http://www.smile.amazon.com (I type amazonsmile.com and it also works).

You may occasionally forget, its OK!
