Amazon has created a special program – Amazon Smile – that enables its customers to support their favorite charitable organization every time they shop at Amazon. With each eligible purchase Amazon will send 0.5% (one half of one percent) to the receiving charity. Nearly all products on Amazon are eligible. It costs nothing for a customer to be part of the program.
Customers first need to sign up to use Amazon Smile. They complete this step by visiting smile.amazon.com and signing on with their Amazon credentials. Then, they can choose the charity they want to make a donation to. That is, the Southern Tuolumne County Historical Society (STCHS). A US tax identifier number will confirm that the receiving organization is tax exempt. For STCHS this number is 77-0132781. It’s not necessary to know this number because Amazon can search for the number on its own based just on the STCHS name.
This registration process has been completed by STCHS to assist its supporters. Just click on the Amazon Smile link at the right to go straight to Amazon Smile where STCHS has been pre-installed.
After signing up for STCHS, it’s shop as usual. (Sometimes Amazon will ask its shoppers to confirm that they want to use the Amazon Smile program.) As long as the item is eligible for the program, STCHS will get a donation.
