Amazon Smile is a program where Amazon contributes 0.5% of your purchases to your favorite charity. The program is completely free to you. Items purchased under Amazon Smile cost exactly the same as on Amazon.com, though a few items are excluded from the program.

To make it work, you have to sign up for Amazon Smile and designate the African American Wellness Project as your preferred charity. Then, every six months, you’ll need to renew your commitment.

Finally, depending on how you shop on Amazon, you’ll need to do one of the following:

• • If you shop using a web browser, just log into smile.amazon.com instead of amazon.com. Your account information, shopping cart, preferences, etc, will all carry forward without any change.
  • If you shop using the Amazon app, go into Settings and set a preference to use Amazon smile.

  That’s it!
