A simple and automatic way to support The WEOKIE Credit Union Foundation every time you shop, at no cost to you. When you shop at smile.amazon.com, you’ll find the same low prices, selection, and convenience as Amazon.com, but with the added bonus that a portion of your purchase price is donated to the foundation.
Simply go to www.smile.amazon.com and select The WEOKIE Credit Union Foundation to receive donations from eligible purchases before you begin shopping. Bookmark it for next time and it's so easy to give back without giving anything extra. Because AmazonSmile remembers your charity selection; every eligible purchase going forward results in a donation to The WEOKIE Credit Union Foundation.
Tens of millions of products on AmazonSmile are eligible for donations. They are marked “Eligible for AmazonSmile donation” on their product detail pages.
Of course! You use the same account for Amazon.com and AmazonSmile. In fact, your shopping cart, wish lists, wedding or baby registry, and other account settings also are the same.
The AmazonSmile Foundation donates .5% of the purchase price from your eligible AmazonSmile purchases. This is the amount paid minus any rebates, shipping, and handling, gift-wrapping, taxes, or service charges. Best of all, from time to time, they offer special, limited-time promotions that increase the donation amount on products, so be on the lookout!
Donations are made by the AmazonSmile Foundation; therefore, they are not tax-deductible by you
