33 for Charity

In 2018, 33 for Charity was established as a benefiting charity by the AmazonSmile Foundation. This allows Amazon users to select 33 for Charity as their charity of record. The AmazonSmile Foundation donates 0.5% of the purchase price from your eligible purchases to our charity. This costs users nothing in order to participate. However, you must be signed into smile.amazon.com and have 33 for Charity selected as your current charity. So, remember to bookmark smile.amazon.com to your browser to make shopping and donating to charity easier than ever!

In April 2020, 33 for Charity earned the Gold Seal of Transparency from GuideStar for our ongoing commitment for non-profit organization transparency.

Since 1973, 33 for Charity has donated over $243,500 to local charities, groups, shelters, churches, schools and individuals. Each year, through the generosity of its membership, 33 for Charity has been able to donate more than that of the previous year. Our 2019 donation total was $21,500. Recipients included:
