What is AmazonSmile?
AmazonSmile is a simple and automatic way for you to support ROEP every time you shop, at no cost to you. When you shop at smile.amazon.com, you’ll find the same prices, selection, and convenience as Amazon.com, with the additional bonus that Amazon will donate a portion of the purchase price to ROEP.
How do I shop at AmazonSmile?
To shop at AmazonSmile simply begin at smile.amazon.com from the web browser on your computer or mobile device. You may also want to add a bookmark to that page to make it easier to return and start your shopping at AmazonSmile.
Which products on AmazonSmile are eligible for charitable donations?
Tens of millions of products on AmazonSmile are eligible for donations. You will see eligible products marked “Eligible for AmazonSmile donation” on their product detail pages. Recurring Subscribe-and-Save purchases and subscription renewals are not currently eligible.
Events through Facebook
Are you a Facebook user? Consider a birthday fundraiser benefitting The River Otter Ecology Project. It’s a very easy and fun way to raise money to support river otters and watersheds.
Simply click on the “Fundraisers” tab on the left of your Facebook screen. You can get started immediately, and you control your fundraising goal, the amount of time your fundraiser runs, and the message you’d like to put out to your friend list. Facebook takes care of the rest, including sending you a receipt for your taxes.
Donate your old vehicle!
Buying a new car? Getting rid of an old one? Selling isn’t your only option. We’ve teamed up with Donate for Charity to make donating your vehicle easy. It’s a win for all: you get a minimum $500 tax deduction (or higher, depending on what your car sells for), and River Otter Ecology Project receives the net proceeds to support our program.
By donating your car, you’ll avoid the headache of selling a used vehicle. Whether the vehicle is running or not, Donate For Charity can help process the donation. We certainly appreciate our donors considering this option as a way to help support our cause.
Host Your Own Event
Will you help us spread the word about the importance of watersheds and wetlands and the role of their key charismatic ambassador — the river otters? We want to grow our family of friends and you can help by introducing our work to new folks. You can partner with us in providing an ‘information only’ gathering (we don’t ask for donations). Host a gathering of 5-20 folks and we will share a half-hour presentation & answer questions.
To start planning an event, please fill out and submit the form below. Red asterisks indicate areas that must be completed by you. We will contact you to provide details and schedule.
