ATTN: Amazon Shoppers! Do you know that a portion of your purchases on Amazon can go to charity without it costing you anything? Of course, I will encourage you to choose Yorkie Haven Rescue :) ; but even if you don't choose YHR, please think about using the following link when you shop on Amazon to help the charitable organization of your choice. Don't let this money be left unused!!! Here is the link: https://smile.amazon.com/ch/65-1278342 And, here is some information about this program: About AmazonSmile What is AmazonSmile? AmazonSmile is a website operated by Amazon that lets customers enjoy the same wide selection of products, low prices, and convenient shopping features as on Amazon.com. The difference is that when customers shop on AmazonSmile (smile.amazon.com), the AmazonSmile Foundation will donate 0.5% of the price of eligible purchases to the charitable organizations selected by customers. What are the eligibility requirements for charitable organizations to participate? Organizations must be registered and in good standing with the IRS as a 501(c)(3) to be eligible to participate. Organizations must be public charitable organizations (not private foundations) and may not be supporting organizations, unless identified specifically as a Type I, Type II, or functionally integrated Type III supporting organization. Eligible charitable organizations must also be located in one of the 50 U.S. states or the District of Columbia. Organizations that engage in, support, encourage, or promote intolerance, hate, terrorism, violence, money laundering, or other illegal activities are not eligible to participate. Amazon relies on the US Office of Foreign Asset Compliance and the Southern Poverty Law Center to determine which registered charities fall into these groups. Charitable organizations must also adhere to the AmazonSmile Participation Agreement to maintain eligibility. Charitable organizations may choose not to participate in AmazonSmile at any time. Although we aim to include only charitable organizations that are in good standing and do not engage in any of the activities described above, we cannot guarantee the good standing and/or conduct of any charitable organization. For complete details, see the AmazonSmile Participation Agreement. How does AmazonSmile work? When first visiting AmazonSmile, customers are prompted to select a charitable organization from almost one million eligible organizations. In order to browse or shop at AmazonSmile, customers must first select a charitable organization. For eligible purchases at AmazonSmile, the AmazonSmile Foundation will donate 0.5% of the purchase price to the customer’s selected charitable organization. Is there any cost to charitable organizations or to customers? No. 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 customers. Do you charge any administrative fees or take any deduction from the donation amount? No. Charities must register to receive donations and have a valid bank account to which we can route donations, but there is no charge to participate and we do not deduct any fees from the donation amount. |

Hahahaha....we could all share our addictions to Amazon shopping. I swear I purchase things almost every day....I don't think there is much that you cannot buy on there. Thanks everyone for supporting YHR! :) |
Thanks for the link! I will be sure to use it from now on. Amazon is my mall lol! I find stuff I live in the brick and mortar stores, even trying on clothing/shoes, and then I go home and get it for less on Amazon:) I have a tiny problem :laugh: |
I shop a lot on Amazon and I will make sure to do this and tell my Grandma and mom who shop there a lot too! |

But I got this email from amazon just now, so I don't think we have to click everytime.... Dear Christine, Amazon will now donate 0.5% of the price of your eligible AmazonSmile purchases to Yorkie Haven Rescue when you shop at AmazonSmile (smile.amazon.com). I think you just need to be sure you shop using smile.amazon.com though. |

When I click on smile.amazon.com, I have this message on the upper left side of my screen... Supporting: Yorkie Haven Rescue |
Oh my goodness, my name's Sally and I am an Amazonaholic too....:eek: :D Linda - do you know, am I able to do that from over here? I buy loads of stuff, and would LOVE to donate to YHR in this way. Please don't trouble yourself if you don't know 'off the top of your head' - I'll check it out when I place my next order (probably tomorrow....!!! :D). Such a great idea! :) Sally x |
I just went to Amazon.com: Online Shopping for Electronics, Apparel, Computers, Books, DVDs & more and got this pop up reminder: Remember, start at smile.amazon.com to support Yorkie Haven Rescue. Amazon donates a portion of eligible purchases made at AmazonSmile to the charity of your choice. We won't show you this reminder again. SO, yes, it does remember but you have to go to www.smile.amazon.com I have been so used to going through YHR site for the other link...so was not positive. This is great! :) |

Ok, I confess, I am an Amazonaholic too. I try to remember to use the YHR link but sometimes forget, so now I'll use this new one. I have often wondered how much actually goes to YHR, and what are the "eligible purchases". It would be interesting if we could see just how much they have contributed from my/our purchases. BTW, I have recently started ordering dog food from Amazon, and have found better prices and availability than at stores over here.... and they delivered free via FedEx in just 3 days (I have Amazon Prime). Love Amazon for everything. |
I am going to be making some amazon purchases pretty soon (probably today). We need a new sound bar for our tv. I'll be sure to purchase in support in YHR. I already found one I want in Amazon Smile at a great deal. YAY! :) |
