Did you know your Amazon purchases can empower teens from foster care?!

Simply shop through AmazonSmile and select Aging UP as your charitable organization. You’ll enjoy an identical Amazon shopping experience — the exact same low prices, vast selection and convenient shopping experience as Amazon.com — but a portion of your purchase will be donated to us at no cost to you! Please just remember to shop through AmazonSmile every time you shop.

To make it easy, you can bookmark AmazonSmile at smile.amazon.com on your web browser or activate it in your Amazon Shopping app for iOS and Android phones. Simply turn on AmazonSmile in your app (through “Settings” in the main menu) or go to https://smile.amazon.com/ch/81-3023085 every time you shop.

You can also donate a physical item from our Amazon Wish List. These items will be used for direct youth services.

Please select Aging UP as your AmazonSmile charity. It’s an easy yet meaningful way to empower youth from foster care toward happy, healthy, self-sufficient futures.

It’s likely some, if not most, of your shopping happens on Amazon.com. Now, those purchases can benefit Aging UP at no cost to you!

Simply use AmazonSmile and designate Aging UP as your charitable organization: www.smile.amazon.com/ch/81-3023085

Shopping online through AmazonSmile is the same Amazon you know with your current account settings, but it makes donations from eligible purchases on your behalf. Your entire shopping experience remains the same, yet it will make a difference for youth who may not have the joy of committed, caring people in their lives.

Please sign in to AmazonSmile today and choose Aging UP as your charity. Then, every time you shop, use the AmazonSmilie (www.smile.amazon.com) and easily contribute to Aging UP’s mission of empowering youth with experience in foster care to successfully transition into adulthood.
