Why Partner With The Value Plus Program?

The Value Plus Program delivers comprehensive college purchasing data, tracking case growth at the SKU level through online reporting and detailed push reports. It enhances sales and broker efforts by working collaboratively to secure business opportunities. Manufacturers can strengthen brand awareness and expand market share through the program.

Why Colleges Love Us

What is Value Plus?

Value Plus is a "frequent buyer" loyalty program by which self-operated colleges and universities earn points for purchasing sponsor manufacturers' products and then redeem the points earned to participate in NACUFS® initiatives. Value Plus is currently home to and committed to bringing your most preferred manufacturers, brands and products into the program.

Why Should We Join The Value Plus Program?

Colleges and Universities earn points for every program case purchased, and those points translate directly into dollars. C&Us can use those dollars to attend NACUFS® National and Spring conferences, as well as continuing education sessions including online learning, symposiums, virtual town halls, webinars, and workshops. Joining the program is 100% free for Colleges and Universities. We don't require contracts or exclusive partnerships—we encourage you to maximize your purchasing power. Most importantly, we don't sell your data. To anyone. Ever.

How Do We Earn Points?

Simply send us your monthly proof of purchase from all distributors for every department across your campus, including, but not limited to: bookstores, athletic departments, campus convenience stores, catering operations, dining operations, and any self-operated unit. You can submit reporting from your distributors via email, our website upload tool, or let us set up a direct-from-distributor information feed. Points can be earned from July 1, 2025 - December 31, 2026. Qualifying product lists for July 1, 2025 - December 31, 2025 are available online. January 1, 2026 - December 31, 2026 qualifying product lists will be available January 1, 2026.
