September 2, 2011

WAMU 88.5 partners with several web sites to make it easier to direct resources to the station through your everyday purchases.

Amazon

WAMU 88.5 is a member of Amazon.com's "Associate" program. Under this program, when you follow links from WAMU.org to Amazon.com and subsequently make purchases, WAMU 88.5 earns a referral fee on those sales. This is a great way for us to help you easily purchase online the books, CDs, and other items that you hear mentioned on the air.

Support WAMU 88.5 with your purchases from Amazon.com.

Mission Fish and eBay Giving Works

If you, your family, or friends sell on eBay, then you need to learn more about eBay's Giving Works. It is the dedicated program for charity listings on eBay, enabling you to list items on eBay and donate part or all of the final sale price to your favorite nonprofit organizations, such as WAMU 88.5.

eBay Giving Works listings tend to sell at higher final prices, because buyers are more willing to purchase and often pay more for items that benefit a nonprofit. You can enhance buyer trust and loyalty by aligning with a cause, and you will receive a receipt for your tax-deductible donations.

If you're interested, more information for sellers can be found on eBay Giving Works and MissionFish.

NPR Shop

WAMU 88.5 is pleased to announce a new affiliates program for the NPR Shop that benefits local stations. Through this program, National Public Radio will share a portion of the revenue generated in the NPR Shop with participating member stations.

WAMU 88.5 now earns seven percent of merchandise revenues from NPR Shop orders attributed by you to us. The easiest way to make sure seven percent of YOUR purchase goes to WAMU 88.5 is to click here and shop! If you visit the NPR Shop by linking from another site, you can still direct a portion of the proceeds from the sale to WAMU 88.5: when you're asked during the checkout process if you wish to choose a station to receive proceeds from your purchase, simply select WAMU 88.5 from the list of stations.
