An option that's 10 times better than the Amazon Smile service in that link is to do all your Amazon shopping via the EA Shop for Charity portal, which earns a 5% commission on all your spending (at no cost for you) for the effective altruist foundation Charity Science, which automatically regrants all this money to GiveWell-recommended charities (currently deworming ones).
