Donating with AlexaCustomers who wish to make a monetary donation to select charities can do so by simply saying, "Alexa, I want to make a donation" on any Alexa enabled device. Amazon also gives customers special opportunities to donate items using Alexa during select shopping seasons. This back-to-school season, Amazon customers could simply say, "Alexa, donate to Happy School Year," to donate backpacks full of school supplies to students in need. Customers across the U.S. participated, and received a "thank you" message from Shaquille O’Neal who, along with Ciara, participated in donation events.

AmazonSmile Charity ListsCharity Lists give charitable organizations an easy way to create lists of products needed, while providing a convenient way for customers to donate these essential items directly to the causes. Customers are able to contribute items that are truly critical, to charities they care about, no matter how big or small. Customers can shop thousands of Charity Lists by visiting smile.amazon.com/charitylists, with new charities joining all the time. For example, with October being Adopt-A-Shelter-Dog month, we’ve partnered with the ASPCA and local pet charities to create Charity Lists to help the more than 3.3 million dogs that enter shelters each year.
