I encourage anyone considering donating to this to instead (or in addition) donate to a general COVID-19 relief fund. The economic impact of donating to a fund that disburses selectively to Amazon associates is that it increases the value of being an Amazon associate. In effect, this allows Amazon to pay their associates less. In economic analysis, this is called the incidence of a intervention. The incidence of your donation is that a good fraction of each dollar is effectively a donation to Amazon. This is very similar to the finding that a lot of tax credits to the poor actually get co-opted by Walmart to pay their lowest associates even less.
