Using AmazonSmile is a great way to support your favorite charity and is an easy way to give back while doing your everyday shopping with Amazon. You may already be familiar with AmazonSmile, but did you know in 2020, Amazon did an update to its app to add AmazonSmile to the mobile platform? If you’re a fan of online shopping through the Amazon app, then you’re going to find that linking your AmazonSmile to your mobile app will supersize your donations to Sierra Nevada Journeys.

With just a few easy steps, your holiday and year-round shopping will support our student scholarship fund. It reaches youth from schools with financial barriers and have the least access to high-quality STEM education and outdoor experiences like those offered by Sierra Nevada Journeys.

There are two steps to prior to setting up your preferred charity on your Amazon app – you’ll need an AmazonSmile desktop account and have the Amazon app.

First, from your desktop computer sign into AmazonSmile, using your same account that you use for Amazon.com. Next, select your favorite charity, Sierra Nevada Journeys, to start generating donations at no cost to you. There is no cost to using AmazonSmile — either from your desktop computer or through the app — and you have the same products and prices as Amazon.com.

Second, make sure you have the Amazon app via your mobile phone. You can download the Amazon app from the App Store for iOS or Google Play for Android.

You’re now ready to turn on AmazonSmile through your app in just a couple of steps:

  1. Open the app, and select the collapsed menu-burger icon of the three horizontal lines, Figure 1.

  2. Scroll past the boxes to the bottom of the page and tap “settings,” Figure 2.

  3. Under settings, select “AmazonSmile.” On the top of this page, you will see your selected charity. Turn on the mobile app from this page. Over time, you can also see your AmazonSmile impact from this section. Figure 3 and 4.

 

Once you are set up, the donations automatically come to Sierra Nevada Journeys and you’re helping students access quality STEM programs. AmazonSmile donates 0.5% of all eligible purchases and it adds up so it is worthwhile to take a moment and update your app and start shopping!
