Important News Regarding Amazon.com


Amazon.com recently informed us that they no longer want to participate in the iGive.com program. They have told us that helping you raise money for your favorite charity via iGive is “not in their business interest.” As a result, Amazon.com purchases don't count for donations as of April 16, 2003. If you still wish to visit Amazon.com (without getting a donation), please click here.

Please keep this in mind: over 440 great stores at iGive DO want to support you and your cause, every time you shop! We encourage you to visit alternative stores, for great prices, great selection, and most importantly, money to help your favorite cause. Unlike Amazon.com, virtually all other iGive.com stores have automatic purchase reporting, so you don’t have to manually report the transactions either!

Recent Amazon Purchases: what happens?


Beginning April 16, 2003, Amazon will no longer be available on iGive.com, so it will not be possible to place new orders which qualify for donations. Also, orders shipped after April 23, 2003 do not qualify for iGive credit, even if they were placed prior to April 16, 2003. If you have not already done so, please report all your existing Amazon.com orders through the Transaction Reporting Form: http://www.iGive.com/html/missingtrans.cfm

The deadline to report Amazon orders placed through iGive.com is June 23, 2003.

 
Making the Transition Easier



Please support the 440+ iGive stores who STILL care about helping your favorite charity every time you shop! We’ll make it even easier, with dozens of Double Donation Days in the coming weeks. We will feature a bunch of great “Alternatives to Amazon,” with Double Donations on books, music, movies, electronics, and much more! Please keep an eye out for upcoming iGive newsletters featuring these new offers. Or, check out current Sales and Specials, Free Shipping Offers, and First Time Buyer Deals that help your cause!
