Amazon's charity program, 'AmazonSmile,' to end amid company's cost-cutting moves

Amazon is ending a charity donation program it ran for a decade in its latest cost-cutting move.

The program allowed Amazon to donate a small percentage of eligible purchases to a charity selected by shoppers. The decision also comes as the Seattle-based company is laying off workers and axing different areas of its business in an effort to trim costs. Other tech companies, such as Facebook parent Meta and Salesforce, are also letting workers go after ramping up hiring over the past couple of years, when the pandemic made consumers increasingly reliant on the tech sector.

Oh no!!! 😫 that sucks!!! A lot of charities are gonna feel that help!! Mine went to an animal shelter 😞

This sucks. It made shopping on amazon seem more neutral than thoughtlessly supporting a conglomerate. I always shop & purchase from that screen to support my charity. Ultimately it should be a tax deduction for them, so discontinuing it seems counterproductive. DisappointhedAF
