Sam's Club Membership Fundraising Campaign - FAQ

What is a Sam’s Club Membership Fundraising Campaign?

• Plus Membership Price: $110 ($22.00 donated back to the organization)

How does a Sam’s Club Membership Fundraising Campaign work?

Signing Up for a Campaign

Fundraising with Sam’s Club memberships is easy! First step is to sign up.

Once you’re signed up, you will receive an email notification when your campaign is live and then it’s time to promote!

Promoting Your Campaign

Once your campaign is live we will provide you with your unique Fundraising Campaign Page where supporters can give back to your organization by selecting and purchasing their preferred Sam’s Club membership before the campaign deadline.

Throughout the campaign we will also email you various tools you can use to spread the word with your supporters and on social media--including social media photos, videos and captions as well as templates for text and email blasts to your network.

All that's left is to share your Fundraising Campaign Page on social media, send an email blast to your friends and family, anything to spread the word to your community about how they can give back--and get great benefits in the process (more on this below)!

Don't forget to give your campaign a boost by opting in for your own Sam’s Club membership! Show your supporters firsthand how simple the process is and the value they get back from a Sam’s Club membership by taking advantage of this offer yourself. 

Receiving the Donation

We will keep you updated on supporter participation throughout the duration of the campaign. Once the deadline has passed, we will email you results and send a donation check of all proceeds earned during the campaign to the address you have provided. The check will be delivered within 4-6 weeks of the campaign deadline.

In addition to supporting your cause, why should supporters buy a Sam’s Club membership?

A Sam's Club membership is the best way to save big on groceries and other essentials. Cheaper than other alternatives, Sam’s Club offers member-only benefits on products from fresh produce to home goods and electronics, making it a one-stop shop that allows you to save big where it matters most--your time, and your wallet.

Sam’s Club annual memberships include:

• Access to everyday low prices on your go-tos
• Instant Savings events and high quality Member’s Mark™ exclusives
• Time-saving perks like Scan & Go check-out
• Members-only gas prices at select locations
• Savings at the tire and battery center, with free services like flat tire repair
• Complimentary membership for someone in your household

Take advantage of a Plus membership for the most perks. Think free shipping, Curbside Pickup, early shopping. You name it. And with extra Sam’s Cash™ on purchases, it pays to go Plus.

How much will my supporters pay for a membership?

Supporters can purchase either a Club membership or Plus membership from your Campaign Promotion Page and up to 25% of the membership cost is donated to your organization.

• Club Membership Price: $50 ($12.50 donated back to the organization)
• Plus Membership Price: $110 ($22.00 donated back to the organization)

Can I create a campaign for my organization?

Organizations are welcome to submit a signup request. You will be notified by email if your application has been approved. The clock starts once you’ve received an email notifying you that your campaign has been confirmed!

Is there a cost to create a campaign?

No. There are no campaign minimums to participate. All you have to do is create a campaign and promote this opportunity to your community and help them access exclusive Sam's Club savings and perks!

How long does my fundraising campaign last?

Most organizations tend to run 30 day campaigns, but this is entirely up to you! After submitting a request, you will be prompted to adjust the timeframe of your campaign while your request is in review. Campaigns have a maximum duration of 90 days–besides this, feel free to customize your campaign to a timeframe that works best for your schedule!

Note: By default, campaigns will begin the day after they have been reviewed and approved. Once your campaign has begun, any changes to your start date must be requested by messaging our support team.

How can my supporters participate?

Supporters can buy a membership plan from your Fundraising Campaign Page and a percentage will be donated to your organization. Once they purchase a membership, they will receive a redemption code to redeem their new Sam's Club membership online and pick up their card at their local Sam's Club. With over 600 clubs in the country, people can support your organization nationwide!

How do I get my donation?

Can supporters participate if they already have/have had a Sam’s Club membership?
