The vast majority of those 1 million organizations received less than 100 dollars.

  I suppose, it does bring me joy that a local no-kill shelter got $42,631.17 and I was able to get about $30 into that, its not ground breaking, but that's kind of the point of smile right. I guess I can donate out of my own pocket to the same shelter moving forward.

    I wonder if some of these places were just really really good about advertising and asking their customers/community to give them a nod in their Prime accounts.

      I'm not sure, but one of their locations did suffer from a fire within the past year, and they got enough donations to rebuild within a few short days, around that time I changed my Amazon Smile donation, I assume others thought the same thing I thought around that time window. It will be a shame that Amazon will take away donations from so many good places. I know I can donate myself directly, but it was far more meaningful that Amazon was doing so as you ordered things.
