If you have registered with AmazonSmile, you never need register again. Registering will put an AmazonSmile logo in your bookmarks. Just log into your AmazonSmile account and start shopping. Everything works exactly as you are used to. Anything you buy on Amazon (books, gifts, hardware, etc.) can also be purchased through AmazonSmile, so you can put your Amazon account aside. Note that your old cart and buying history will not transfer over to AmazonSmile. But your payment information transfers flawlessly, so you don’t have to type in your address, etc.

AmazonSmile is a simple way for you to support your favorite charitable organization every time you shop, at no cost to you.

You can choose from over one million organizations to support.
Q. How do I register and receive donations for my charitable organization?
- Search for your charitable organization by name or EIN number and then select the organization you represent. Be sure to confirm you are selecting the correct organization, as many charitable organizations have similar names.
- Create an organization administrator account and accept the AmazonSmile Participation Agreement on behalf of your organization.
- Verify your email address (we recommend that you use an email address that is associated with your charitable organization).
- Submit your organization’s bank account information.
- Upload a copy of a voided check or bank statement to verify your organization’s bank account information.
Q. What is an organization administrator?
An organization administrator is an official representative of an organization that has authority to access and manage AmazonSmile program information on behalf of their charitable organization.
Q. Why do you need an email address for my charitable organization?
We require a valid email address so that we can communicate important program information to each registered organization. From time to time we will send emails with information about your organization’s donation amounts and information about AmazonSmile program promotions.
Q. Can you mail our organization a donation check instead of sending an electronic funds transfer?
We do not mail donation checks due to the expense of check processing and fulfillment. We distribute donations using electronic transfer to reduce operational expenses so we can donate 100% of the funds to eligible charitable organizations.
Q. Will customers still be able to select my charitable organization if I don’t register?
Yes. As long as your organization is listed by GuideStar and meets our eligibility criteria, customers will be able to select your organization. However, no donations will be made to your organization until you complete your free registration. See “What happens if we do not register …” under Receive Donations for more information on how donations are processed for organizations that do not register and provide bank account information.
If your organization has been registered by an unauthorized person please contact us.
