AmazonSmile, one of the vehicles that members could use to make small donations to ARRL with Amazon purchases, is ceasing operations, according to a memo I received this evening:
--
"In 2013, we launched AmazonSmile to make it easier for customers to support their favorite charities. However, after almost a decade, the program has not grown to create the impact that we had originally hoped. With so many eligible organizations—more than 1 million globally—our ability to have an impact was often spread too thin.
We are writing to let you know that we plan to wind down AmazonSmile by February 20, 2023.
