Donate to FORL with AmazonSmile!

All of our great programming, building improvements and publicity, including the maintenance for this website, are made possible with donations from our supporters.  There are many ways to donate to the Friends.  You can either make an in-kind or monetary donation or become a Friends member.

But did you know that you can make a donation to us through Amazon.com?  The Friends are a registered charity with the AmazonSmile Foundation.  All you have to do is shop!

Here’s how it works: when first visiting AmazonSmile, customers are prompted to select a charitable organization.  In order to browse or shop at AmazonSmile, customers must first select the Friends of the Roslindale Branch Library to continue.

For eligible purchases at AmazonSmile, the AmazonSmile Foundation will donate 0.5% of the purchase price to the customer’s selected charitable organization.  There is no additional cost to the Friends or to AmazonSmile customers. The shopping experience is identical to Amazon.com with the added benefit that the AmazonSmile Foundation will donate that percentage to the Friends!  Five percent might seem miniscule, but this adds up if you are a regular Amazon customer who makes purchases a few times a week or month.

See how easy it is.  We will make it even easier: here is the link to our AmazonSmile page for you to bookmark for future purchases: https://smile.amazon.com/ch/27-1311413.

Thanks again for your support!
