What prevents you from donating to your local charter school without Amazon Smile?
- gedy 4y agoWe do, it's just "free money" basically
- saxonww 4y agoThis is not a bad question, but part of the value of Smile was that it was very easy to support a selected charity as a side effect of another activity. I think this will hurt smaller charities. They might not have been getting a huge donation from Smile, but I also think a lot of Smile users aren't going to consciously donate to the charity they selected - certainly not in the $5-$10 range that is probably more than most individual shoppers accounted for each term - and as a result those charities will be taking in less than before. Smile was a good program. I have no idea what it cost Amazon to operate, but I am pretty confident it resulted in more money going to charity than whatever Amazon will now do instead.
