Dear
Blanketeers,
As
many of you begin or have begun to shop on line this holiday season, I would
like to bring something new and exciting to your attention. The Amazon Smile Foundation
will donate .05% of your purchase to the charity of your choice. Project Linus
in one of almost a million charitable organizations that has been registered
and qualifies for this fantastic opportunity.
It
is simple and easy. As you log onto Amazon. Smile.com account follow these few
steps:
· On the far right at “Your Account” hover over the drop
down arrow
· Then find the Amazon
Smile which will be the 8th option down and click on it.
· This page will show you many of the larger national
charities, but there is a space for you to type in Project Linus.
· Each time that you shop .05% will then be sent to
Project Linus National Headquarters.
So
many of us do so much of our shopping online for the convenience of it, and
these few extra clicks of the mouse will help so many. (It is a one time set up) If you have any questions, please
contact me and I will gladly walk you through the process. I have selected a
few key portions that may help as you begin this process.
Thank
you for your consideration.
AmazonSmile Program Details
About Choosing a Charitable Organization to Support
On your first visit to AmazonSmile, you will be prompted to
select a charitable organization to receive donations from eligible purchases
before you begin shopping. We will remember your selection, and then every
eligible purchase you make on AmazonSmile will result in a donation.
AmazonSmile Donations to Charitable Organizations
100% of the donation
amount generated from your eligible purchase on AmazonSmile will be donated.
The donation amounts generated by your purchases are combined with the donation
amounts from all other customers that selected the same organization, and each
quarter the AmazonSmile Foundation makes donations to registered charitable
organizations by electronic funds transfer. Donations are generally transferred
approximately 45 days after the end of each calendar quarter.
Donations are not made for products that are returned.
The amount that the AmazonSmile Foundation donates as a result of your AmazonSmile purchase is not tax deductible by you. If you have any questions about your tax situation, you should contact your tax advisor.
