“I support Thomas Aquinas College because I want others to have the opportunity to have the solid education that I received,” says Dr. Katherine Johnson (’06), an M.D. and MBA who works in marketing for a pharmaceutical company. “I use the Smile program because it’s an effortless way to make my shopping on Amazon meaningful.”

Amazon Smile is a philanthropic program through which the online retail giant donates .5 percent of the price of all eligible purchases to the charitable organization of its customers’ choice. A good number of alumni and friends have designated TAC as their non-profit, raising thousands of dollars for the College to date — a helpful contribution, but far below what could be achieved if all alumni, parents, and friends were to so leverage their Amazon purchases.

“Shopping through Amazon Smile is such an easy way of supporting the wonderful institution that is Thomas Aquinas College, and it costs you nothing,” says Eloisa Silva, mother of Juliana (’22) and Cristiana (’23). “It is no different from any other shopping through Amazon, as products, prices, and features are the same.”

To support the College via your online shopping, please visit smile.amazon.com and identify Thomas Aquinas College as your charitable recipient. Then, bookmark the Smile page, and use it every time you shop at Amazon. Mobile shoppers can participate in the Smile program by making a quick change to the settings on the Amazon Shopping app for Android or, for iOS users, shopping via Amazon’s mobile site at smile.amazon.com.

“Charities have received over $200 million from the Amazon Smile Foundation, and we can ensure TAC is one of them,” says Mrs. Silva. “Support faithful Catholic education by simply making sure you designate TAC as the charity of your choice!”
