AmazonSmile: Support PWDF Through Your Back-to-School and Other  Purchases this Fall

Donations to People With Disabilities Foundation allow 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 simply by using AmazonSmile for your Amazon purchases.

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 Amazon purchases via AmazonSmile.

It’s as easy as using smile.amazon.com instead of your usual 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. It’s an easy mode of including charity into your normal routine as you shop for back-to-school materials, upcoming special occasions, and beyond.

People With Disabilities Foundation appreciates your support.
