AmazonSmile was Amazon’s charity-giving program, which donated 0.5% of eligible purchases to selected nonprofits at no extra cost to shoppers. The program is discontinued, but it remains historically relevant as a large-scale purchase-triggered donation model that some open source foundations could benefit from.
