Amazon shoppers can now help grow scholarship and program funds to benefit University of Guam students at no additional cost. By shopping through AmazonSmile\u2014a nonprofit foundation created by Amazon and a separate site from Amazon.com\u2014users can select University of Guam Endowment Foundation as their beneficiary, and AmazonSmile will donate 0.5% of that user\u2019s eligible purchases to the foundation.<\/p>\n

Shoppers can go directly to the UOG Endowment Foundation\u2019s page on the AmazonSmile website at\u00a0https:\/\/give.uog.edu\/amazonsmile\u00a0and start shopping. Not all products for sale on Amazon.com are eligible under AmazonSmile, but the prices are the same on both sites. The AmazonSmile dropdown menu in the navigation bar displays a running tab of how much of a user\u2019s purchase amounts have been donated to the foundation.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2018Tis the season for giving, and what better way to give than to support a scholarship while buying presents for the family?\u201d said Katrina Perez, executive director of the UOG Endowment Foundation. \u201cThis is a fun and effortless way for people near and far to support the academic aspirations of our local students.\u201d<\/p>\n
