Yeah, I think it's 1% of each purchase that can be donated.  As a shopper,
you *must* go through smile.amazon.com, but that doesn't seem to impact
their catalog -- everything I've ever wanted to buy I've found at
smile.amazon.com.

Users don't get the tax benefits of course, but it's kinda cool to tell a
giant gorilla where to send some of its cash.

(ha!  too bad AWS RDS doesn't donate some percentage of its hourly rate
back to Postgres)

Thanks for looking into this.  Definitely let me and the rest of the world
know when you get PgUS tied in.
