How to Use Amazon Smile

If you’re like most of us, an Amazon box on your doorstep is a common occurrence, but did you know that you can shop til’ you drop at Amazon while giving to IDA-Florida Branch at the same time? When you visit Amazon via smile.amazon.com, a portion of your Amazon purchase is donated to IDA-FL to help us accomplish our missions to be the state leader in the awareness and dissemination of current knowledge, research, and resources regarding dyslexia . So whether you’re finally getting around to buying an instant pot, or springing for a giant inflatable rainbow unicorn floatie for the pool, you’ll be helping to provide important information to children and adults with dyslexia, their families, teachers, and related professionals every time you shop. And don’t worry. It doesn’t cost a thing.
