Support with AmazonSmile

by | Nov 23, 2022 | Donate, News | 0 comments

Did you know you can support Scouting simply by designating the Cascade Pacific Council as your charity of choice at Amazon.com?ย  That’s right!ย  The program is called “AmazonSmile” and it doesnt’ cost you a penny. Amazon donates 0.5% of eligible purchases to the charity of your choice โ€” at no cost to you.

How to activate AmazonSmile on your iPhone or Android

Step 1: Join AmazonSmile

If you arenโ€™t yet an AmazonSmile member, sign up atย smile.amazon.comย using a web browser (mobile or desktop). Youโ€™ll sign in with your Amazon credentials, and the site will walk you through the process.

Amazon will ask you to choose your favorite charity. This is where you search for and choose โ€œCascade Pacific Councilโ€

Step 2: Open the Amazon Shopping app on your phone

If you donโ€™t have the app already, download it from theย Apple App Storeย orย Google Play.

Step 3: Open Settings within the Amazon app

Open Settings by tapping the three horizontal lines (aka the โ€œhamburgerโ€) at the top left and tapping โ€œSettings.โ€

Step 4: Tap AmazonSmile

Step 5: Tap the button for โ€œTurn on AmazonSmileโ€

Youโ€™ll need to follow the three-step setup process. Note that Amazon requires you to turn on notifications to be able to use AmazonSmile on your phone.

Step 6: Make note of your renewal date

Amazon asks that you renew your AmazonSmile donation every six months. This is easy but required. When six months are up, youโ€™ll have to choose your favorite charity again. If you donโ€™t, purchases made until you do will not count.

Step 7: Confirm that AmazonSmile is active before your next purchase

Look for AmazonSmile at the top of the app as you browse. Youโ€™ll also see your chosen charity on the confirmation screen.
