Spotlight: Walmart Global Giving Increases in Last Fiscal Year
In fiscal year ending Jan. 31, 2012, Walmart and the Walmart Foundation donated $958.9 million in cash and in-kind contributions around the globe. The company’s U.S. giving grew nearly 20%, largely due to increased donations of produce, meats, poultry and other nutritious food to local food banks from Walmart stores, Sam’s Club locations and distribution centers. For our most recent annual giving press release and fact sheets, click here.

Walmart and the Walmart Foundation are in the second year of a $2 billion cash and in-kind hunger relief campaign that extends through 2015. The Foundation’s contributions are strategically aimed at ending hunger for the 1 in 6 Americans that do not know where their next meal is coming from. As such, the Foundation seeks to fund initiatives that integrate hunger relief into our four focus areas.
