Amazon Smile – Shopping at Amazon.com Contributes to PLWA

May 4, 2017

We know money doesn’t grow on trees. PLWA depends on contributions from the Public to pursue public access. So how would you like to contribute to PLWA just by doing your normal Amazon.com shopping?

AmazonSmile is a simple and automatic way for you to support Public Land/Water Access Association every time you shop, at no cost to you. When you shop at smile.amazon.com, you’ll find the exact same low prices, vast selection and convenient shopping experience as Amazon.com, with the added bonus that Amazon will donate a portion of the purchase price to PLWA. Amazon will donate 0.5% of the price of your eligible AmazonSmile purchases to PLWA. While this is not a huge amount, it is accumulative, for shopping the broad public is already doing.

To shop at AmazonSmile simply go to smile.amazon.com from the web browser on your computer or mobile device. You may also want to add a bookmark to smile.amazon.com to make it even easier to return and start your shopping at AmazonSmile.

On your first visit to AmazonSmile, you need to select PLWA to receive donations from eligible purchases before you begin shopping. Type “Public Land/Water Access Association” in the charitable organization search bar (screen shot below), then click the “Search” button.

In the Search Results page that comes up (screen shot below), find Public Land/Water Access Association (should be first if you type the full name), then click the “Select” button on the right.

You will see a pop up window thanking you for supporting PLWA with your purchases (example below).

If you really want a dopamine hit to the reward centers of your brain for contributing to PLWA, be an access champion by contributing on the “Donate” page.
