There has been some talk on RangerNet regarding an implication that Wal
Mart will match any funds an organization raises through fundraising
endeavors. I have inquired as to the validity of this with Wal Mart, and
here is their response. Thought some of you might be interested in
pursuing this further.

Wal-Mart Stores, inc. Wal-Mart and SAM'S Club funding is done at the local
level to ensure funding is provided where most needed. Individual

United Negro College Fund, and a college entrepreneurial program known as
Student's in Free Enterprise. The Foundation's major funding is in

education. Annual scholarships of $1,000 are presented in each community
where Wal-Mart Stores are located.
Wal-Mart and SAM'S Club's also have many charitable giving programs for
each
