Wal-Mart Matches Up to $1,000
Communities conducting fundraisers to support the purchase of a thermal imager should consider involving Wal-Mart or SAM’s. Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., will match up to $1,000 for nonprofit groups that conduct fundraising events in cooperation with Wal-Mart or SAM’s Club associates. One of the primary requirements is that the funds your organization raises stay in the community. This makes thermal imaging fundraisers ideal matches for Wal-Mart funds.
In 2002, Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., contributed $140 million to support communities and local non-profit organizations. Customers and associates raised an additional $70 million at the store level. Information on fundraising and matching grants is available at local stores or by visiting the Wal-Mart Foundation on-line at http://www.walmartfoundation.org.
