Sam's Club is a regular stop for many small business owners.
Sam's Club has launched a new program called Giving Made Simple that should be near and dear to many entrepreneurs. The program supports education and entrepreneurship, as Sam's Club believes they are essential to the growth of our economy and communities.
Giving Made Simple is a online voting campaign that allows Sam's Club members and associates to determine how Sam's Club will distribute $4 million in charitable contributions to eight selected nonprofit organizations dedicated to youth education and entrepreneurship.
The organizations that were selected to participate in this program are Kiva, Community Reinvestment Fund, USA (CRF USA), Corporation for Enterprise Development (CFED), Accion USA, Junior Achievement, YMCA, Girls, Inc. and Network for Teaching Entrepreneurship (NFTE).
Sam's Club members and associates can log onto http://www.samsclub.com/giving, and vote for the non-profit organization they would like to see win the largest donation.

Jeff, thank you for bringing awareness to the Sam’s Club Giving Made Simple Contest and how valuable each person’s vote is. I work for Junior Achievement's HQ operations and have seen first hand the impact of our programs. Entrepreneurship education helps kids have the knowledge, skills and confidence to believe in themselves and to create success. I encourage everyone to learn about all the non profit organizations involved and vote for the one that “feels” right – I can say with great pride, that Junior Achievement’s programs focus on today’s youth that are tomorrow’s leaders! http://www2.samsclub.com/Giving/About/Junior
That is $4 million that belongs properly to the shareholders. Perhaps we could take it out of the CEO's paycheck instead. Then we'll see just how enthusiastic he is. I am tired of companies acting about how wonderful they are. If you won't give the $4 million to the shareholders, how about cutting your prices for your customers so they can give more to the charity of THEIR choice? Of course, than they couldn't toot their own horn about how wonderful they are!
