A little good press goes a long way for a company like Amazon. The company routinely gets knocked for things like warehouse conditions, tax breaks and impact on smaller retail outlets. AmazonSmile’s helped to counteract that a bit, raising money for legitimately good causes, skimmed off purchases from the site.
The online retail giant announced this morning that it’s made $100 million in charitable donations through the program, since launching almost exactly five years ago.
