Now that the Juan Pablo Duarte Foundation has its own home, fundraising has become our top priority. As a not for profit 501 (c) 3 organization, JPD can participate in Amazon Smile, a website operated by Amazon with the same products, prices, and shopping features as Amazon.com. The difference is that when you shop on AmazonSmile, the AmazonSmile Foundation will donate 0.5% of the purchase price of eligible products to the charitable organization of your choice. That’s why we would like to ask you to select JPD! Please follow the steps below and you will be helping us to keep our beautiful new office doors open and continue supporting our community.
How to do it
- Go to smile.amazon.com and login into your Amazon account (in case you’re logged out)
- On the search box, type in Juan Pablo Duarte Foundation and select our profile
- Next time you decide to purchase anything on Amazon, instead of going to amazon.com, go to smile.amazon.com. The system will remember your selection automatically, and then every eligible purchase you make at smile.amazon.com will result in a donation to JPD.
