Facts About the Ralphs Community Contribution Program

How Much of My Ralphs Food Bill Gets Contributed to “I Have a Dream” Foundation – Los Angeles?
Answer: In total, Ralphs will contribute a maximum of $150 per quarter per individual or household Ralphs Rewards card.
The ‘term’ beginning 9/1/15 through 8/31/16 is based on a sliding scale of household monthly purchases as follows:
– Up to $200 per month of eligible purchases, Ralphs contributes 1%
– $200.01 and $350 per month of eligible purchases, Ralphs contributes 2% of amount over $200
– $350.01 and $500 per month of eligible purchases, Ralphs contributes 3% of amount over $350
– Over $500 per month of eligible purchases, Ralphs contributes 4% of amount over $500

Ralphs Rewards Community Contributions limits their quarterly contributions to a maximum of $500,000 to be distributed among all participating eligible organizations, and $150 per individual Rewards Card or household. In the event that total earned contributions exceed the maximum contribution limit, Ralphs will prorate and reduce the contributions based on the total contributions earned by all participating organizations and their members.

Question: Why Do I Have to Re-register?
Why do I have to re-register when I was already participating prior to September 2015?
Answer: The Community Contributions Program is evaluated every year and changes are considered based on the success of the program. By making a one year commitment to Ralphs, Ralphs is also making a one year commitment to you, the organization, and your members. It also gives each organization an opportunity to refresh their membership by spreading the word to new members and keeping the previous members informed about any changes to the program.
