Apologies for beating this drum but I find it important. Verify with the charitable organization that they registered to receive funds from Amazon! Amazon's list of charities comes from GuideStar USA which compiled the information from

There is this: https://developers.google.com/apps-script/guides/clasp I've not used it and I have a feeling it doesn't really help one take full advantage of their IDE of choice but it might still beat t

Good question! The best way appears to be to pretend you want to register that organization on Amazon's Org Central site[0] which shows which already registered. (An example search for Child's Play[1].) As a shopper I do not belie

They do give you a breakdown of where your money went at the bottom of their website (when logged in): https://contributor.google.com It would be nice if they offered to e-mail this to you once a week/month or provided more

I've been trialing Contributor for the past month and there's two reasons I'm going to continue... 1. It works anywhere I can log into Google, which means I see less ads on my mobile device or in browsers where I might not ha

This morning (7AM EDT) that post was not present. My impression is Stephen refused to make O'Reilly's comment visible until he had a chance to insert his claims into its content. Seems odd that he'd edit the comment to include his responses
