Did not know this until about a week or so ago but, if you use Amazon and log in thru www.smile.amazon.com they will donate a percentage of you purchase to St. Judes Children Hospital with all qualifying purchases.

You can actually set the charity to whatever one you want. I have mine going to Concerns of Police Survivors (C.O.P.S.).

That is a nice feature. There is a pretty extensive list of different organizations which you can choose to support.

I give mine to Hawktalk. Monteen is a member here, and runs Hawktalk. They're a 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization dedicated to rehabilitating raptors.

My charity of choice for Amazon Smile is the Navy SEAL Foundation. I make sure all of my purchases are through the Smile portion of the site.

Mine goes to a local animal rescue group. You just have to make sure you are in amazon.smile, a lot of times I go to Amazon and I'm not actually on the smile page. There is quite a long list of acceptable charities

I almost created a post about this yesterday.
My charity is the local humane society. But my post was going to urge people who aren't already involved in Amazon Smile program to do so and choose Judicial Watch as their charity.

I send Judicial Watch a annual donation rather than donate to a campaign or political party otherwise they would be my amazon Smile choice.

I wish one could link through their profile.
99% of my ordering is done through the app.

I've been donating to Judical Watch for some time. Good service on behalf of Amazon.
