Amazon Smile Program for Skyscrapers, Inc.
May 2016 :
I would like to tell you about the "Amazon Smile" program and how it can benefit our Society financially at not cost or obligation to us. This program is offered by Amazon, the online retailer and is available to all 501(c)(3) organizations.
Amazon will donate .5% of your total purchase price to Skyscrapers, Inc. via direct deposit to our checking account. Please note: your purchase price is not inflated because you use the "Smile" program and if you decide to send a gift card to a friend or family member, that amount is not reduced in anyway.
Some of our members already know about this program and have already registered their existing Amazon accounts with the "Smile" program which immediately provides donations to Skyscrapers, Inc.
After discussing this program at one of our board meetings, initially mentioned by Jim Hendrickson, I received a unanimous approval from the board to register Skyscrapers, Inc. with the Amazon "Smile" Program.
To participate in the Amazon Smile program, click on the following link which will take you to the Amazon Smile program website and sign in if you’re an existing Amazon customer or register if you are a new customer to Amazon.

Once you sign in to your existing Amazon account or you registered a new Amazon account, you are now participating in the Amazon Smile Program. This is a one-time registration! If you are an existing Amazon customer, all of your account information to include recent purchases and order history are available just like it was before. You do not need to re-enter any of your account or credit card information again.
If you are new to Amazon, then of course you would have to register your name, address, credit card information that you would like to use and other information. I've personally been an Amazon customer since 1998 and never encountered any issues with Amazon.
Any future purchases that you make will be financially helping our society.
Feel free to shop and purchase whatever you need and this will help our organization tremendously if all of us participate.
We would really like everyone to register with this program to help offset the costs of maintaining our facilities, internet access, utilities, and insurance.
For all future purchases when shopping at Amazon, please ensure in your browser address bar at the top shows www.smile.amazon.com You will also see Skyscrapers, Inc. right below so you know that .5% of your purchases will be helping our organization.
