Donate Now Through Amazon’s Alexa
Donate Now Through Amazon’s Alexa: Now you just have to say, “Alexa, make a donation”.
Amazon Alexa that works with 48 charities and non-profits is a voice-activated, artificially intelligent digital assistant enabling people to make donations to charities via voice commands. The virtual assistant will help the user choose from a list, or they can name the specific charity to which they want to donate.
How To Donate Using Amazon Alexa
Users of an Alexa enabled device can tell Alexa to donate a certain amount of money, and the voice activated personal assistant will take the funds from the Amazon account of the user and pay it out to a specific organization.
- Alexa relies on a 4 digit voice confirmation code to make sure the donation is not a mistake.
As per details from Amazon, Alexa shares a consumer’s username, email address and home address with the charity the money is going to. Donator receives an email confirming the donation and can track it via Amazon Pay. It does not provide any credit card information.
Amazon shares that over a million people have used Amazon Pay to donate to charities already before Alexa Donations was launched. Amazon has also collaborated before with Give Back Box, which let users reuse Amazon boxes to ship donations to charities.
