Introducing, AmazonGrimace
it is a shame. I had mine set to benefit the small school my kids went to. >

Mine went to an org that helps people get out of Scientology >

That's funny, mine went into an org that helped bring people INTO scientology. >

There’s a charitable org for that?! WTF? >

Yeah, it's called scientology.
They are so charitable they sometimes give members a place to live. Against their will. Indefinitely. >

Oh - Scientology itself. Doh! Granted I’m sitting an ER waiting for admission right now, so my comprehension is likely a bit off. I thought you’d meant a charitable org that existed to help people into Scientology. LOL
My bad. >

I'm a different person making a joke. That first guy was also making a joke.
Good luck in the ER. Might want to get your go fund me started while you wait ;) >

Shit - you ain’t kidding there. Ugh. 
Thank you. >

My wife runs a small non profit children’s theatre. They never made more than a couple hundred dollars here and there, but the difference when it did come was a tangible impact. >

I did some work for a small children’s theater one summer.  $200 went a long way for them.  Sets and puppets aren’t free to make. >

Mine was personal as it went to the non profit fundraising to assist transplant patients, me being a transplant patient that uses that non profit. >

Can you PM me that organization? >

Now launching - Amazon Frown!
With each purchase over $200, an associate will visit a nearby hospital and give a sick child a purple nurple. >

Some kids have requested Macklemore to promise never to visit them in the hospital. >

Fine, we’ll send those kids Nickleback to cheer them up >

Calm down Satan, they're already suffering >

They just want a photograph >

The solution to Amazon's lack of prosocial operations is to tax Amazon their fair share so society benefits from allowing Amazon to do business in society. >

It’s sad that your post made me laugh because of how absurd the idea of that actually happening is >

Why? With that attitude it’s no wonder they get what they want. >

I never said it was impossible but you're kidding yourself if you think that something like that would be easy or even likely. You can act like it's a simple solution that wouldn't meet any resistance if you want to be Quixotic about it, but I'll choose realism. >

So lame. The Smile program actually made a huge difference to our local nonprofit. And my “prime” deliveries take 7-10 days. I’m over Amazon. >

Fun when you subscribe to toilet paper and it’s “delayed”. >

Funner still when it’s medication! >

I’m starting to get the feeling that the people who run Amazon are not very nice people. >

mine was my local food bank. they said the donations made a difference. 
I'm so mad at amazon. I was the last person i know who defended them , all because of smile. Now they can kick rocks. >

This was the final push I needed to cancel prime.  The planned parenthood I had as my charity has received ~$100k from the program.  It definitely was making a difference to them. >

Yea aside from using shopper panel idk that I need amazon anymore.  I was saving my $12 a month toward an expensive item I can't get nearby and is never on sale but fuckit. >

Given the number of charities involved, there's no way Amazon even attempted to quantify the impact of AmazonSmile contributions. This is about the board wanting control over who gets the money...and, likely, the cynical determination that the program has already done as much good for Amazon as it ever will, in terms of training people not to click through Google.
