AmazonSmile is program from Amazon that allows you to support your favorite charitable organization every time you shop at Amazon, at no cost to you. When you shop at https://smile.amazon.com on you’ll find the same low prices, with the added benefit that AmazonSmile will donate 0.5% of your eligible purchases to the charitable organization of your choice. To setup your AmazonSmile account just follow the directions below.

1. Go to the AmazonSmile homepage by clicking the button below and click Get Started.
2. If you are not already logged in to your Amazon account, you will need to log in now.
3. You will be redirected to your AmazonSmile homepage where you can start browsing for products. Make sure your URL is https://smile.amazon.com to verify that you are donating 0.5% of your purchases. If you are on the normal https://amazon.com website, your purchases won’t be eligible for the AmazonSmile program. You can also double-check the charity that is receiving the AmazonSmile donations by looking at the Supporting tab in the Amazon navigation on the left top side of your screen.
4. You can keep track of your AmazonSmile Impact by visiting the AmazonSmile dashboard.

Facebook offers a new, simple tool that can give you the option to bring awareness to a non-profit or cause on your birthday.

1. Go to your Facebook account and login.
2. After you login, on the Facebook “home” page look on the left side column. You should see the ‘fundraiser’ option under “Create” at the bottom. Click on “fundraiser” and then click on “Select Nonprofit”.
3. Search for and select the Jerusalem Institute of Justice (JIJ).
4. Set your fundraising goal (how much money do you want to raise) and time-frame. We’ve seen many successful fundraisers at $200 or even $500 or more. Set something that you feel good about and see where it goes! You can always raise the amount if you particularly like to challenge your friends. You can also give it a title and a description as to why you are raising money and a cover photo.
5. When your details are complete for the fundraiser, click “Create”.
6. Invite people on your friends’ list and engage with them! This is key. Invite, invite, invite! Share it on your timeline: remember that not everyone will see something when you post once. While some people may be hesitant to invite people on their friends list, remember you’re giving them an opportunity to participate in something large and global. No problem if they are unable or unwilling to participate at this time – you’ve at least extended an invitation.
7. Watch the donations come in.
