WELCOME TO FRED MEYER COMMUNITY REWARDS!

Now you can support the Issaquah Women’s Foundation just by shopping at Fred Meyer with your Rewards Card. All you have to do is go to www.fredmeyer.com/communityrewards and click on “re-enroll or link your Rewards Card now.” From there, search for us by our name or our nonprofit number, 90312. When the list comes up, select Issaquah Women’s Foundation #90312 and then click “Enroll.” And just that easy, you’re ready to go! Every time you shop and use your Rewards Card, you’ll be helping the IWF earn a donation. And don’t forget to spread the word to your family, friends, and neighbors. The donation we get is related to how many customers select the IWF and how much they shop. And to make that easy for you, we’ve attached a flyer that you can print out and share.

WELCOME TO AMAZONSMILE!

ANOTHER WAY TO SUPPORT THE IWF - JUST BY SHOPPING AT AMAZON!

What is AmazonSmile?

AmazonSmile is a simple and automatic way for you to support your favorite charitable organization - the Issaquah Women's Foundation of course! - everytime you shop, at no cost to you.  When you shop at www.smile.amazon.com, you'll find the exact same low prices, vast selection and convenient shopping experience as at Amazon.com, with the bonus that Amazon will donate a small portion of the purchase price to the IWF.

How do I get started?

1.  Go to www.smile.amazon.com (bookmark it to make it easy going forward) and sign in with your regular Amazon user name and password.  Note: If you are already signed in to regular Amazon at www.amazom.com, you must first, sign out then sign back in to www.smile.amazon.com using your same user name and password.

2.  You will be asked to select a charitable organization that you want to receive donations from your eligible purchases.  Choose "Issaquah Women's Foundation" and every eligible purchase you make at AmazonSmile will result in a donation to the IWF.  The donation amount is 0.5% of the purchase price (i.e., the sale price LESS shipping, handling, taxes, gift wrapping fees, etc.)

3.  Start shopping.  It's that simple! (Note: purchases that are not made using an internet browser are not currently eligible for donations.)

Important Notes:

• Eligible products are marked "Eligible for AmazonSmile donation" on  their product detail pages
• Your AmazonSmile account is the same as your regular Amazon account (including AmazonPrime).  You just enter it through a different URL portal and if you save it as a bookmark you only have to set it up once.
• All payment methods available on Amazon.com are also available on AmazonSmile.
• 100% of the donation amount generated from your eligible purchase on AmazonSmile will be donated to the IWF.  The donation amounts generated by your purchases are combined with those of all other customers that selected the IWF as their charity and the IWF receives its accumulative donation quarterly.
• Donations are not tax deductible by you.

Bottom Line:

Yes, 0.5% is a minuscule amount (e.g., 0.5% of $100 is 50 cents)  But every little bit helps.  So if you, your family and your friends participate, with all donations going to the IWF, those 50 cents will become dollars and those dollars will become more dollars!
