Steps
Go to Smile.Amazon.com. Sign into your account just as you would sign into Amazon.com.
Find “My Account” in the top right corner of the page and click on it. Scroll to the Settings portion of the screen. Under account settings, select “Change Your Charity.”Advertisement
Choose one of the spotlight charities or use the search bar to find a local charity. To be eligible, this charity must be a 501(c)3 (tax-deductible) charity that has signed up with Amazon Smile. If you don’t know the name of a local charity, you can search by location.
Click the “Select” button to the right of the charity you would like to support. You should see a pop up that says, “Thank You. Now when you shop at smile.amazon.com, your purchases will support xyz charity.”
Look for the small writing at the center top of the page that says, “Supporting xyz charity.” You can also change your charity by clicking the drop down box next to this writing and choosing the “Change Your Charity” link.

Bookmark Smile.Amazon.com on your browser. Use this bookmark link whenever you want to use Amazon.
Use Smile.Amazon.com just as you would Amazon.com. When you add items to your cart and purchase them with a credit or debit card, a portion of the price of most goods will be donated to the charity of your choice.
Avoid going straight to the Amazon.com site. If the smile.amazon.com site is not used, your purchases will not be eligible for charitable donations.

- QuestionHow do I stop donating to any charity?
Community AnswerContact them and ask them to stop charging you, or simply stop donating. If you mean through Amazon, just don't use Amazon Smile. - QuestionHow do I remove a charity from being attached to my account? It only gives me the option to choose a different charity.
Community AnswerThat cannot be undone. You can only choose a different charity, not delete it. Just continue to go through amazon.com NOT amazonsmile.com.
