Did You Know? Club members can support Journalism Institute when shopping on Amazon

We are all spending a lot of time shopping online these days, and that generally means Amazon, too. Did you know that you can support the National Press Club Journalism Institute, and and the Club's press-freedom efforts, when you shop with the Amazon Smile program?

It’s easy. You just log in to smile.amazon.com every time you shop on Amazon, and .05% of your purchase will be donated to the Club’s nonprofit National Press Club Journalism Institute. Products available on Amazon Smile are the same as you'd see on Amazon, and there’s no additional cost to you. 

First, go to smile.amazon.com. Then, using the search bar, find and select the National Press Club Journalism Institute as your choice of nonprofit. Once it’s set up, make sure you log in through Smile before you shop. It’s helpful to bookmark this page so your browser goes there, rather than to the main Amazon home page. Smile is also available in the app.

Now, .05% might seem like a small amount, but if lots of Club members and supporters sign up and use Smile for their purchases, it will add up. 

Your next household supply, grocery order or mini-blender purchase can help the Journalism Institute promote press freedom and provide professional development to the journalism community.
