This holiday season, shopping is giving! It's easier than ever to donate to nonprofit organizations of your choice with programs like AmazonSmile and Fred Meyer Community Rewards that automatically donate to charitable institutions dear to you simply by shopping as you normally do.

AmazonSmile is a separate website operated by Amazon that donates a percentage of your purchase to eligible organizations at no cost to you. To shop at AmazonSmile, visit smile.amazon.com and shop for products like you normally would on Amazon. You'll find the same prices and selection as Amazon.com, but a portion of every purchase goes to your favorite charitable group.

Fred Meyer Community Rewards works in a similar fashion. Support a nonprofit organization of your choice simply by shopping at Fred Meyer using your Rewards Card. At the end of each quarter, Fred Meyer will donate to nonprofits based on the accumulated spending of Rewards Customers linked to them. Visit www.fredmeyer.com/signin to sign in or create an account, and then click on Community Rewards to search for and choose a participating nonprofit group.
