Yes, I actually looked into this before. After looking into it more, I found that they only donate half a percent of the purchase price. To put this into perspective if someone buys something that is $1,000 then Spokane CREATE! would only get $5. How often do you spend $1000 on Amazon? While it might seem that this is a no-brainer, that any money is good money, there are some who think this isn't the case. If people 'give' to Spokane CREATE! via what they purchase at Amazon, they may be less likely to give directly because they are already 'giving'. Only they don't really stop to think about how small that gift is because Amazon doesn't really advertise that. So the Amazon customers get a warm fuzzy feeling, Amazon gets their $100 purchase, and Spokane CREATE! gets 50 cents and a higher likelihood that they don't get another donation directly from that person.

If you are going to spend more than several thousand on Amazon, then let's talk. Smile
