Some major retailers give shoppers the opportunity to support charities, either directly or indirectly.
Amazon’s charity-donation program, AmazonSmile, ended Feb. 20, cutting off a relatively easy way for people to do a little good while shopping.
The program let Amazon customers send a donation worth 0.5% of eligible purchases directly to a favorite nonprofit. Amazon covered the donation; there was no extra cost to customers. While AmazonSmile had raised $400 million in the U.S. since its 2013 launch, the company said it axed the program because it wasn’t having enough impact.
Walmart.com shoppers won’t automatically see the Round Up option at checkout. To activate it, you’ll first need to set up an account on Walmart.com, then go to the Account page and click on Giving & Impact under Manage Account. There, you can select one charity to get your spare change. To participate in the Round Up program, which started last September, nonprofits must be verified by a third-party service called FrontDoor.
Walgreens Shoppers at the national pharmacy chain Walgreens WBA who are members of its free myWalgreens loyalty program can donate their Walgreens Cash to charity. Members earn 1% cash back on all purchases and 5% on Walgreens-branded products. Ways to donate while shopping at other retailers In addition to charitable-giving programs at individual retailers, there are web portals and other online tools that let shoppers donate any time they shop online. As always, before you sign up for any online service, read the terms and conditions and privacy policy to make sure you know what you’re getting into.
Another similar service is Givebacks, which automatically donates up to 1% of your purchase to your chosen causes. Givebacks also gives registered shoppers cash back on their purchases, which they then donate to nonprofits of their choice. Users link a credit card to their account, or add the Givebacks browser extension, “then just shop and dine like you normally do at over 25,000 merchants,” said Bobby Costa, the chief operating officer of MemberHub, the parent company of Givebacks.
