Did you know your amazon.com purchases can help support Michigan Architectural Foundation’s programs and initiatives that advance awareness of architecture, provide architecture-related educational initiatives and scholarships, and creatively connect people of all ages with architecture?

What is AmazonSmile?
AmazonSmile is a service provided by Amazon that lets customers enjoy the same wide selection of products, low prices, and convenient shopping features as on Amazon.com. When you shop with AmazonSmile, the AmazonSmile Foundation will donate 0.5% of the price of eligible purchases to the charitable organizations of your choice.

AmazonSmile is the same Amazon you know. Same products, same prices, same service.

Two Ways You Can Support MAF Through Your Amazon Smile Purchases

1.Select Michigan Architectural Foundation as Your Amazon Smile Charity of Choice

  • Visit smile.amazon.com (not www.amazon.com)
  • Selection Michigan Architectural Foundation as your charity of choice.
  • Each time you make a purchase, Amazon will donate 0.5% of the price of your eligible AmazonSmile purchases to Michigan Architectural Foundation.

2.Purchase a Michigan Architecture Book Directly from the MAF Website
