Good Neighbor Program for Organizations
Tom Thumb makes it easy for any church, school, or
non-profit organization to raise funds with no selling,
no paperwork, and no up-front investment with our Good Neighbor Program.
If your organization is seeking a donation or sponsorship
from Tom Thumb, this is the program for you! Our Good Neighbor
Program allows us to support a great number of community endeavors.
In fact, we make the majority of our contributions with this program.
Through the program we have donated nearly $17 million to more than
7500 non-profit organizations.
The majority of our customers use the Reward card each time
they shop because of the many benefits the card offers. Customers save
money, and enter contests while supporting their favorite organizations.
At Tom Thumb, your Good Neighbor Program account number is linked to your
supporters' cards so your organization will accumulate funds quickly and easily.
Here's how it works: Your organization fills out an application,
found in the Good Neighbor Program brochure available at our stores.
Once your organization's application has been approved, it will be
assigned an exclusive account number. That number must be communicated
by your organization to the supporters of your group, who can then link
your account number to their Reward card. Your supporters will simply
fill out the Good Neighbor program section and the top part of a Reward
Card Application, indicating your organization's number and return it to the
Courtesy Booth. That's it! Your organization is now linked to those cards.
From that point on, the purchase price of groceries will automatically be
recorded to your organization's Good Neighbor account. We keep a running
total of your account, and a check for 1% of the total purchases is sent
directly to your organization each quarter.
We will pay 1% of your members' total grocery purchases to your fund-raising
organization, as long as the cardholders are in good standing with Tom Thumb.
The amount of the check depends on the amount of your supporters' total purchases.
FAQ's:
1.) When does our organization receive its check?
Tom Thumb pays your organization 1% of the total purchases at
the end of each calendar quarter (March, June, September, and
December). Your organization will receive a check approximately
three weeks following the end of the quarter. Once the quarterly
payment has been made to your organization, your account will revert
back to $0 and will begin accumulating again for the next quarter.
2.) Will we receive any type of quarterly statement?
Yes. A statement will be sent to your organization approximately
two weeks following the end of the quarter. The statement will show
the total purchase amount made by your members for the quarter. It
will also show how much your payment will be from Tom Thumb. Your
group should receive the check within three weeks of receiving the statement.
3.) If my organization joins the program during the last month of
the quarter, will I still receive a check for that quarter?
If purchases total less than $2,500, your purchases will
automatically roll over to the next quarter. Otherwise, all
organizations receive a check at the end of each quarter.
Additionally, all accounts are paid out in full at the end
of the year, regardless of the balance.
4.) Can a member have his or her Reward card linked to more than one organization?
Up to three organizations per household may be linked. A customer's
total purchase amount will be divided equally among the organizations
designated on all cards in each household. To maximize the contribution
amount your organization will receive, we recommend choosing only one
organization per household.
5.) What if a customer already has his or her Reward card linked
to an organization, but then decides to change it?
The customer can change his or her designated organization at
any time simply by indicating the account number to add or delete
using a Reward Card application. The customer completes the
top section and the Good Neighbor program section and returns it to the Courtesy Booth.
