Support Access Fund with Every Amazon Purchase

As we all hunker down in the fight against COVID-19, many of us are relying heavily on e-commerce stores like Amazon to secure the essentials for daily life. If you’re an Amazon shopper, there’s an incredibly easy (and free) way for you to support Access Fund with every purchase, helping your favorite charity make it through this uncertain time. Shoppers who start at smile.amazon.com will find the same Amazon they know and love, with the added bonus that Amazon will donate a portion of eligible purchases to Access Fund. Signing up is easy—you set it once and forget it.

How to Set Up AmazonSmile

  1. Visit smile.amazon.com
  2. Sign in with your Amazon.com credentials
  3. Choose a charitable organization to receive donations, or search for “Access Fund”
  4. Select your charity
  5. Start shopping!
  6. Add a bookmark for smile.amazon.com to make it even easier to return and start your shopping at AmazonSmile

You’ll know you have it set up correctly when you see “Supporting: Access Fund” under the Amazon search bar. You can also click the down arrow to see how much you’ve generated for your charity through your purchases.

Always start at smile.amazon.com

In order for your Amazon order to qualify, it must be made through AmazonSmile. Unfortunately, orders made through regular Amazon won’t qualify. However, setting up bookmarks and redirects is easy.

Redirects
You can ensure all your purchases help benefit Access Fund by installing a plug-in that automatically redirects you to smile.amazon.com every time you visit Amazon.

For Chrome users
Install the Smile Always chrome extension.

  1. Visit http://www.smilealways.io/
  2. Click “Available in the webstore”
  3. Then click the blue “Add to chrome” button
  4. And you’re done! Everytime you try to visit Amazon, you’ll be redirected to smile.amazon.com instead.

For Safari users
Install the KeepOnSmiling extension

  1. Visit this site: https://github.com/bosmacs/Kee...
  2. Under 1.2, under assets select “keeponsmiling.safariextz”. It will download an extension
  3. Click on the extension in your downloads folder
  4. Select “trust” and add the extension

Bookmarks & Favorites
If you regularly use bookmarks and favorites to navigate the web:

  1. Visit smile.amazon.com.
  2. Create a bookmark or favorite. If you currently have Amazon bookmarked or favorited, replace it with the smile.amazon.com link.

Setting Up Amazon Smile on Mobile
If you shop at Amazon using your mobile device, you can still use AmazonSmile with one of the following workarounds:

From your Browser
If you regularly shop using Amazon using your mobile browser, simply navigate to smile.amazon.com and set a bookmark. Each time you open a new tab, click on your Amazon smile bookmark or enter smile.amazon.com as the url.

From the Amazon App
Unfortunately, you can’t use Amazon smile directly through the Amazon app, but there are 2 easy workarounds.

  1. Replace the Amazon app with a link to the Amazon Smile mobile page. Navigate to smile.amazon.com.
    1. On an iPhone, press the “share” button, then select “Add to HomeScreen.”
    2. On an Android device, press the menu button, then tap “Page”. Then tap “Add page shortcut.”
  2. Add all of your items to your cart using the Amazon app, then checkout using either your mobile browser, or a desktop browser.
