Looking for an easy way to donate to the Fair Housing Center? We’re now participating in AmazonSmile, a program run by the web retailer to donate 0.5% of the price of eligible purchases to the charitable organization of its customers’ choosing. By using Amazon Smile you’ll enjoy the same wide selection of products and shopping features as on Amazon.com, but with the added bonus of supporting FHC for no extra effort or cost. So sign up today and help support FHC by shopping at smile.amazon.com for all of your Amazon purchases.

How to sign up for AmazonSmile and help support FHC:

Step 1:  Click the “get started” button in the banner to your left to sign in/up using your Amazon account information.

Step 2: Select the Fair Housing Center of Southeastern Michigan (also on there as the Fair Housing Center of Washtenaw County Inc aka The Fair Housing Center of Southeastern Michigan) from the list of available charitable organizations.

Step 3: You’re all set! Remember, you’ll need to shop at smile.amazon.com to make sure that you’re supporting FHC every time you shop.

There are a few ways to make sure that you remember to keep your browser pointed to smile.amazon.com (as opposed to regular old amazon.com):

1. For those with Amazon.com saved in your bookmarks, replace your current entry with smile.amazon.com; or
2. Install the AmazonSmile 1Button. This little widget allows you to go directly to AmazonSmile when you shop. After you install the AmazonSmile 1Button, simply click on the icon from your browser to go directly to smile.amazon.com; or
3. For those using the Chrome browser, install SmileAlways,  a small browser extension that will automatically redirect you to the Amazon Smile homepage every time that you visit amazon.
