Welcome
A GREAT WAY TO RAISE FUNDS FOR
THE POINT WEST ROTARY CLUB FOUNDATION
WHILE SHOPPING ON AMAZON AND AMAZON PRIME.
What is AmazonSmile?
AmazonSmile is a simple and automatic way for you to support Point West Rotary Club Foundation every time you shop, at no cost to you. When you shop at smile.amazon.com, you’ll find the exact same low prices, vast selection and convenient shopping experience as Amazon.com, with the added bonus that Amazon will donate a portion of the purchase price to Point West Rotary Club Foundation.
How do I shop at AmazonSmile?
To shop at AmazonSmile simply go to smile.amazon.com from the web browser on your computer or mobile device. You may also want to add a bookmark to smile.amazon.com to make it even easier to return and start your shopping at AmazonSmile.
Which products on AmazonSmile are eligible for charitable donations?
Tens of millions of products on AmazonSmile are eligible for donations. You will see eligible products marked “Eligible for AmazonSmile donation” on their product detail pages. Recurring Subscribe-and-Save purchases and subscription renewals are not currently eligible.
Can I use my existing Amazon.com account on AmazonSmile?
Yes, you use the same account on Amazon.com and AmazonSmile. Your shopping cart, Wish List, wedding or baby registry, and other account settings are also the same.
How do I select a charitable organization to support when shopping on AmazonSmile?
On your first visit to AmazonSmile (smile.amazon.com), you need to select Point West Rotary Club Foundation as the charitable organization to receive donations from eligible purchases before you begin shopping. We will remember your selection, and then every eligible purchase you make at smile.amazon.com will result in a donation.
How much of my purchase does Amazon donate?
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, we may 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.
Can I receive a tax deduction for amounts donated from my purchases on AmazonSmile?
Donations are made by the AmazonSmile Foundation and are not tax deductible by you.
If you shop from your iPhone or iPad, you will need to do the following once on each device:
- Open Safari and type smile.amazon.com in the web address field at the top. AmazonSmile will open.
- Touch the share button (looks like a box with an arrow) to the left of the website address.
- Touch Add to Home Screen.
- Touch Add.
Remove the old Amazon app from your iPhone and iPad so that you will always shop at Amazon through AmazonSmile:
- Hold your finger on the original Amazon app until it wiggles.
- Touch the black ‘X’ to delete the app from your iPhone/iPad.
You will see an alert that your Amazon data will be deleted. This will not delete your Amazon account or any of your wish lists or order history. It’s simply the data the app saved on your device.
