Membership requires a minimum donation of $5,000, which includes all meetings, educational events, and participation in our giving process. The SAM Initiative is fiscally sponsored by the California Community Foundation (CCF), which charges a 5% administrative fee on all contributions.
Contributions to the California Community Foundation represent irrevocable gifts subject to the legal and fiduciary control of the foundation's board of directors.
All payments made by credit card are subject to a 3% processing fee which is charged to SAM. Please consider sharing the 3% so that 100% of your donation can go to SAM.
Pay by Check: Please make your check payable to the California Community Foundation, and specify The SAM Initiative in the memo line. Send to:
