LW may be interested to learn about Amazon Smile, which gives 0.5% of your Amazon purchases to charity, and the Smile Always Chrome extension that will route your browser to smile.amazon.com by default. (Yes, you can support MIRI through Amazon Smile.) Total setup time estimated at under 5 minutes.
Oh yeah, it looks like they’re having some kind of promotion where if you sign up and make a purchase by March 31, they will give an extra $5 to your chosen charity.
I have been using Amazon Smile and Smile Always for MIRI for about a year.
IIRC, Amazon Smile used to be listed on MIRI’s Donate for free page, but has since been replaced by “Good Shop”. Good Shop appears to give a higher percentage, but I was unable to get the browser extension working so that it happened automatically, so I still use Smile. If anyone knows of a way to get it working, I’d be happy to hear it. But I tried to do it manually for a while, and I just don’t remember often enough.

Is this for the EU too? 0.5% seems a bit low, for every $200 you’d spend the charity receives $1. Then again, it is about the aggregate effect.
Edit: Browsing through the charities, they are all located in the US, so it seems specific to there.
