Alzheimer’s San Diego counts on the generosity of our donors to keep our services free to the community. One easy way to give back to Alzheimer’s San Diego is through Amazon Smile.
Q: What is AmazonSmile?
A: AmazonSmile is a simple and automatic way for you to support your favorite nonprofit organization. You can shop through Amazon Smile at no cost to you at smile.amazon.com. You’ll find the exact same prices and shopping experience as Amazon.com, but with the added bonus of Amazon donating 0.5% of the purchase price to your favorite charitable organization.
Q: Is it free?
A: Yes, AmazonSmile is free and easy to set up.
Q: Can I use my existing Amazon.com account on AmazonSmile?
A: Yes, you use the same account on Amazon.com and AmazonSmile.
Q: How do I select Alzheimer’s San Diego to support when shopping on AmazonSmile?
A: On your first visit to AmazonSmile at smile.amazon.com, select a charitable organization to receive donations from eligible purchases before you begin shopping. Amazon will remember your selection, and then every eligible purchase you make at smile.amazon.com will result in a donation.
You simply have to search for “Alzheimer’s San Diego” in the search bar, and we’ll pop right up. Hit the “Select” button, and you’re all set! Here’s a screenshot of what that looks like:
For each purchase you make on Amazon, ensure you enter through the link smile.amazon.com, otherwise, the purchase will revert to the normal Amazon webpage and will not donate a portion to your selected charity. One way to remember is to create a bookmark on your desktop computer or mobile web browser!
Q: How much of my purchase does Amazon donate?
A: The AmazonSmile Foundation will donate 0.5% of the purchase price from your eligible AmazonSmile purchases. The purchase price is the amount paid for the item minus any rebates and excluding shipping & handling, gift-wrapping fees, taxes, or service charges. From time to time, Amazon might offer special, limited time promotions that increase the donation amount on one or more products or services or provide for additional donations to charitable organizations. Special terms and restrictions may apply.
