Amazon Smile Foundation

[PSU_Lion_Fan]

As the holiday shopping season is quickly approaching, this is a great way to financially support our wrestling team and it costs you nothing. Please read.....

AmazonSmile is a website operated by Amazon with the same products, prices, and shopping features as Amazon.com. The difference is that when you shop on AmazonSmile, the AmazonSmile Foundation will donate 0.5% of the purchase price of eligible products to the charitable organization of your choice. The Penn State Wrestling Club and the Nittany Lion Wrestling Club are both supported non profit organizations.

Every item available for purchase on www.amazon.com is also available on AmazonSmile (smile.amazon.com) at the same price. You will see eligible products marked "Eligible for AmazonSmile donation" on their product detail pages.

If you represent a charitable organization and you would like to learn more about registering your organization to receive AmazonSmile donations, go to org.amazon.com .

For more information about the AmazonSmile program, go to http://smile.amazon.com/about.

I've been signed up for a while. Amazon reminds me when I sign on to switch to the Smile side so contributions go that way. I'm sure someone receives a report of the funds raised through PSU contributors. Anyone know how to access that info? I'd like to see how well it's going and look forward to the Christmas season Amazon sales bumping the total higher.

I have been using Amazon for years and only last year I heard about this program. I don’t think it is very well known. Like you, I would be curious as to how much $$$ our non-profits receive from Amazon. Probably not much, but every little bit helps.

I am in a club that uses Amazon smile. We decided to not promote it. At 0.5% it'd better to get real donations than have people think they are helping by using smile. The NY times had an article on this, they recommended to stay away. It's too little money to let people think they are donating. You probably end up with less.

Good point, probably better letting it grow little by little, knowing we are doing something good and leaving it at that given the facts. Thanks for the info.
