AmazonSmile
AmazonSmile is a simple way for you to support your favorite charitable organization every time you shop, at no cost to you.
Facebook Campaign
You can raise money for organizations and causes you care about on Facebook. Create a birthday, GivingTuesday, or special fundraiser.
AmazonSmile is available at smile.amazon.com on your web browser and can be activated in the Amazon Shopping app for iOS and Android phones. When you shop with AmazonSmile, you’ll find the exact same low prices, vast selection and convenient shopping experience as Amazon.com, with the added benefit that AmazonSmile will donate 0.5% of your eligible purchases to the charitable organization of your choice.
How do I select Berkshire United Way through AmazonSmile?
On your first visit to AmazonSmile, you will be prompted to select a charitable organization to receive donations from your future eligible AmazonSmile purchases. We will remember your selected charity whenever you shop at smile.amazon.com or with AmazonSmile activated in the Amazon Shopping app, and then every eligible purchase you make through AmazonSmile will result in a donation for Berkshire United Way. AmazonSmile will occasionally contact you about donation amounts disbursed to your chosen charity or about the program.
The mission of Facebook's fundraising products is to inspire people to give. Whether it’s through Birthday Fundraisers, Personal Fundraisers, Stories, GivingTuesday, or Instagram, Facebook is inspired by how community comes together to make the world a better place.
100% of donations to nonprofits made through Facebook's platform go directly to the organization being supported.
