Wal-Mart Foundation Home
Wal-Mart and SAM’S CLUBS believe in grassroots giving so its stores, clubs and distribution centers direct 100% of its funding initiatives. Many of their community involvement programs require and encourage its Associates to be directly involved with community non-profit organizations and their projects. When they support national causes, they require that funds stay in the local community to benefit the area where they are raised.
Eligible to receive grants from Wal-Mart Foundation are:
-
501 (c ) 3 organizations
-
Schools – Public, parochial and private. (501 (c ) (3) guideline restrictions may apply.)
-
Religious Organizations whose activities impact the general community, not a single group.
-
Government Agencies
-
Civic and Veterans Groups where funds are used for a project benefiting the community.
All requests for funding must be made through the Good Works Coordinator at your local facility (Wal-Mart, SAM’S CLUB, Neighborhood Market or distribution center).
