As many nonprofits are aware, AmazonSmile has announced that they will officially be discontinuing their donation program on February 20, 2023, which may have been a significant source of funding for many organizations. This news may come as a disappointment, but it's important to remember that there are other options available to help nonprofits raise donations.
One such alternative and arguably the best option is our "Round-Up" program. This program allows donors to round up their purchases from any retailer, not just Amazon, and donate the difference to their chosen nonprofit.

This means that donors will not only see roundups from Amazon purchases, but all other purchases they make with their credit or debit card.
The "Round-Up" program is a simple yet powerful way for nonprofits to raise donations, it's easy for donors to sign up and make regular donations without a lot of hassle. Additionally, donors can set up a monthly recurring gift, which can provide a steady stream of donations for the nonprofit.
Now is the perfect time for nonprofits to reach out to their donor population while the Amazon news is fresh in their minds and educate them about the "Round-Up" program and other donation options available through Harness Giving.
