Looking for an easy way to contribute to a good cause? Then use the link below to do your Amazon.com shopping:

When you enter Amazon through this link (which you can also save in your Favorites list by right-clicking on it), anything you buy during that session contributes 5 percent of the purchase price to the National Alliance for the Mentally Ill of Wisconsin, a great organization. (Full disclosure – I did their web site.) Your purchases don’t cost more, so it’s a painless way to contribute.

If you are involved with any non-profit organization, you should get them involved with the Amazon.com associates program. With links like the above they get 5 percent of purchases, and they can set up special item-specific links that net 15 percent. If more people who used Amazon did this sort of thing, charitable giving would increase considerably.

Just a thought.
