Amazon is shutting down its “Smile” charity donation program as the company cuts costs and rethinks its strategy.

The Smile initiative will shut down by February 20, [2023,] Amazon said in a statement Wednesday, explaining the “program has not grown to create the impact that we had originally hoped.”

Amazon Smile donated a small percentage of sales made on eligible purchases to a charity that shoppers chose. In total, $500 million has been donated since its 2013 launch, with an average donation of less than $230 per charity, the company said.

“With so many eligible organizations — more than 1 million globally — our ability to have an impact was often spread too thin,” Amazon (AMZN) added. Charities enrolled in the program will get a one-time donation “equivalent to three months of what they earned in 2022,” Amazon (AMZN) said, noting that charities will still be able to accrue donations until the program closes.

They want higher profits as they lay off 18,000 employees. The charity I chose has received a lot more than $230; I look just now and the number is $203,459.44.
