AmazonSmile is a simple and automatic way for you to support the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics Foundation every time you shop, at no cost to you. When you shop at smile.amazon.com, you’ll find the exact same low prices, the same vast selection and the same convenient shopping experience as Amazon.com, with the added bonus that Amazon will donate 0.5 percent of the purchase price.

The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics Foundation is the only charitable organization devoted exclusively to supporting nutrition and dietetics professionals by empowering them to help consumers live healthier lifestyles, and does not receive any portion of member dues, relying solely on donations to thrive.

Getting Started with AmazonSmile

If you are not already an AmazonSmile member, sign up at smile.amazon.com.

When you log into AmazonSmile with your personal account information, you will be directed to a page with the title “Choose one of our spotlight charities.” Scroll down towards the middle of the page, where you will see another title labeled “Or pick your own charitable organization.”

In the box below that, please type in Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics Foundation. When the Foundation comes up, press the “select” button on the right and you are officially an Academy Foundation AmazonSmile supporter!
