Amazon Smile

NMP has a new way of earning funds that takes only a few minutes to set up on your part. Instead of using amazon.com, use smile.amazon.com. You will be prompted to select a charity. Please consider choosing North Marion Parents as your charity.   It is the same as the original amazon, but allows a small part of their profits to benefit a charity of your choice.

If you would like to change your existing charity to North Marion Parents, simply: Sign in to smile.amazon.com on your desktop or mobile phone browser. From your desktop, go to Your Account from the navigation at the top of any page, and then select the option to Change your Charity. Or, from your mobile browser, select Change your Charity from the options at the bottom of the page. Select a new charitable organization to support. For more information about the AmazonSmile program, go to http://smile.amazon.com/about.
