Amazon Smile

As a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, National Association of Investors Corporation (BetterInvesting) is eligible to receive charitable contributions.
 

AmazonSmile is a simple and automatic way for members to support BetterInvesting every time you shop at Amazon on the smile website at no cost to you. When you shop at the smile website, you’ll find the exact same low prices, vast selection and convenient shopping experience as Amazon.com, with the bonus that Amazon will donate a portion of the purchase price to BetterInvesting. 

Any contributions received through AmazonSmile will be earmarked for the NAIC general fund, which in turn will be used to develop additional BetterInvesting programs and member initiatives.
