AmazonSmile and the Federation

Every time you shop, Amazon will donate 0.5% of the purchase to the Federation.

AmazonSmile is a website operated by Amazon that lets customers enjoy the exact same wide selection of products, low prices, and convenient shopping features as on Amazon.com. The difference is that when customers shop on AmazonSmile (by going to smile.amazon.com first), the AmazonSmile Foundation will donate 0.5% of the price of eligible purchases to the charitable organizations of your choice. We hope you will select the Jewish Community Federation of San Francisco, the Peninsula, Marin and Sonoma Counties to receive this donation.

How does AmazonSmile work?
When first visiting AmazonSmile, you will be prompted to select a charitable organization from almost one million eligible organizations, including the Jewish Community Federation of San Francisco, the Peninsula, Marin and Sonoma Counties. AmazonSmile Foundation will donate 0.5% of the purchase price to your selected charitable organization.

Is there any cost to charitable organizations or to customers?

There is no cost to charitable organizations or to AmazonSmile customers. The shopping experience is identical to Amazon.com with the added benefit that the AmazonSmile Foundation will donate to the charitable organizations selected by you.

Does Amazon charge any administrative fees or take any deduction from the donation amount?
There is no charge to participate and Amazon does not deduct any fees from the donation amount.
