You Can Support People With Disabilities Foundation with Amazon Smile

Donating to People With Disabilities Foundation allows us to continue our legacy of advocacy. One of the ways you can help PWDF advocate for those with psychiatric and/or developmental disabilities and increase public awareness of pertinent issues is by donating via Amazon Smile.  Amazon donates 0.5% of the price of your eligible AmazonSmile purchases to the charitable organization of your choice.

PWDF can be selected as an organization you support, just by making your normal purchases via AmazonSmile.  It’s as easy as using smile.amazon.com instead of your normal Amazon login page. When presented with the option to search for your own charitable organization, type in “People With Disabilities Foundation.” We should appear as an option to select.

People with Disabilities Foundation appreciates your support.
