A Painless Way to Support Humanities West

You may have noticed that we are now providing a direct link to Amazon.com from our home page (humanitieswest.org), in addition to the links that enable you to purchase directly from Amazon some of the items on our Suggested Reading list for each program. This is not meant to discourage you from patronizing your local bookstore or library, but we know that many of you enjoy the convenience of ordering from the huge selection available through Amazon.

What you may not have realized is that you can make a painless contribution to Humanities West by using any of the specific links on our Suggested Reading list or by using the generic link on our home page. As an Amazon affiliate, we receive a small percentage (4-6% depending on total volume) of every purchase made by someone who initially enters the Amazon site through one of our links. So, even if you are buying books that are totally unrelated to our programs or our reading lists, you can help Humanities West by taking the extra step of entering Amazon through our web site. And don’t worry: somehow Amazon still knows that it is you, still recognizes all the specifics of your personal Amazon account, and doesn’t charge any more for the things you are buying.

Try it out the next time you are planning to buy something from Amazon!
