Amazon Smile

I'm not all that familiar with Amazon Smile, so this confused me.
After a small bit of sleuthing, I think I maybe understand:

1. Nobody has officially registered IMF with Amazon Smile, but
2. Gary (and maybe others) have selected IMF as the charity, and
3. #2 is possible because IMF is listed on Guidestar
(https://www.guidestar.org/profile/59-3837808).
4. Amazon's message went to Sean because his address is one Guidestar
has on file for IMF, and
5. Someone needs to register with Amazon Smile to claim the donations
(https://org.amazon.com)

Sound right?

I'm happy to register with AS, but I don't think I have the EFT info
to provide them. Or can I do that with the Paypal account? I tend to
think this falls under the treasurer purview, unless I'm overlooking
some separation/oversight/etc factor here.

Regarding #4, would it be possible to get an update on "the address
situation" before the next meeting?

I noticed the Guidestar page mentions that "no mission has been
provided", and I'm guessing nobody has registered an account with
them? I can do that too, and claim the page, but I wanted to ask
whether we already have one.


Thanks!

Matthew
