Right now, iGive is helping even more by donating $5 for every new member who joins before Dec. 15. No purchase necessary. In other words, for FREE! The only requirement, sign-up and try the free and optional iGive Button through 2/15/15.

I hope you’ll give it a try. Here’s the link: http://www.igive.com/zY1ZyTf

2) Smile.Amazon.com

AmazonSmile is a simple and automatic way for you to support TRU every time you shop, at no cost to you. When you shop at smile.amazon.com, you’ll find the exact same prices, selection and convenience as Amazon.com, with the added bonus that Amazon will donate a portion of the purchase price to TRU (or whatever charitable organization you select – you can choose from nearly one million organizations to support). You use the same account on Amazon.com and AmazonSmile. Your shopping cart, Wish List, and other account settings are also the same.
To shop at AmazonSmile simply go to smile.amazon.com from the web browser on your computer or mobile device. You may also want to add a bookmark to smile.amazon.com to make it even easier to return and start your shopping at AmazonSmile. Tens of millions of products on AmazonSmile are eligible for donations – look for “Eligable for AmazonSmile donation” on their product detail pages.
Please remember, these are great programs but don’t replace direct donations. Your personal donation to TRU will always be the best way to support our work. Thanks again for helping support Detroit Transit!
