In February 2023, Amazon permanently shut down its Amazon Smile program after providing eight years and $11,000 of financial support to Lutherans For Life. LFL is so thankful for all people who donated to LFL through Amazon Smile and invites everyone to continue shopping and supporting the mission of Lutherans For Life through the iGive.com program.

iGive.com is a rebate program where iGive members can shop online and donate their rebate to LFL. The rebate amount iGive.com will send to Lutherans For Life is based on the donation percentage of the store you shop at online. To see the entire list of stores and donation percentages you can provide to LFL, please visit: www.igive.com/LFL and click on “ALL STORES” on the bottom of the page.

The network of participating retailers spans a wide range of industries and product categories. Members have used their accounts to earn rebates on everything from household goods and electronics to travel bookings and subscription services. The variety reflects how broad online commerce has become, with retailers, casinos online, streaming platforms, and specialty vendors all operating through affiliate and rebate structures that direct a portion of revenue to causes like LFL. For each qualifying purchase, a percentage is automatically set aside and forwarded to the member’s chosen organization.

Once you create your free iGive.com LFL member account, you can financially support our life-affirming ministry every time you shop online at any of 2,000+ online stores with no added costs, obligations, or hidden fees. There are also no extra steps, no codes to enter, and no notifications when making payments.

Many supporters find that the program fits naturally into routines they already have. Whether purchasing office supplies, renewing software subscriptions, or ordering gifts for family, every transaction through an iGive link contributes to LFL’s mission without requiring a separate donation. Over time, even modest rebate percentages add up, particularly when multiple members within a congregation participate consistently.

For those new to online rebate programs, the setup process takes only a few minutes. After registering at iGive.com/LFL, members simply start their shopping sessions through the iGive portal or browser extension. The system tracks eligible purchases automatically, and rebate totals are reported on the member’s dashboard. LFL receives the accumulated funds on a regular disbursement schedule, making it a steady and reliable source of supplemental support.
