How does AmazonSmile work?

AmazonSmile is a website operated by Amazon with the same products, prices, and shopping features as Amazon.com. The difference is that when you shop on AmazonSmile, the AmazonSmile Foundation will donate 0.5% of the purchase price of eligible products to the charitable organization of your choice. Customers use their existing Amazon accounts to link to AmazonSmile and automatically generate donations for organizations and charities that are registered with the IRS as a 501(c)(3).

Step 1: Visit smile.amazon.com

Enjoy the same shopping experience as Amazon.com and find all of your favorite products!

Step 2: Sign in to your account and search for North Shore Youth Council

AmazonSmile lets you choose from over one million charities. Just type North Shore Youth Council into the search bar to be given a list of matches.

Step 3: Select North Shore Youth Council

Click on the "Select" icon to choose North Shore Youth Council as your charity of choice. Now, anytime you sign in to your AmazonSmile account, it will automatically generate funds for our organization.

Step 4: Start shopping

Whether you're shopping for everyday items or a special gift, AmazonSmile will let you know which products are eligible. There's no additional cost to you, just check out normally and 0.5% of your purchases will be donated to North Shore Youth Council. You'll also have a dashboard that lets you know how much money your purchases have generated for us.

Step 5: Share with others

After you've completed your purchase, an option will appear to share the news with your family and friends via Facebook, Twitter, or e-mail. When you let more people know about donating to North Shore Youth Council through AmazonSmile, you help our organization further our programs and services!
