State Giving Program
Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. and the Wal-Mart Foundation have a history of supporting the communities we serve. Last year alone, Wal-Mart stores, Sam’s Clubs and the Wal-Mart Foundation contributed and raised over $400 million, giving back to more than 100,000 charitable and community-based organizations. To increase the impact of our giving, the Wal-Mart Foundation has launched the State Giving Program (SGP). Through this program, the Wal-Mart Foundation will award grants at the state and regional level to support unmet needs that are not directly addressed by any of our current programs. To help facilitate this process, the Foundation has created State Giving Advisory Councils, made up of Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. associates, for every state and Washington, D.C. The Advisory Councils will determine the needs within their state, review all eligible state specific grant applications and make funding recommendations to the Wal-Mart Foundation. To determine if your organization is eligible to request funding through the State Giving Program, please review the program’s guidelines to determine eligibility. We are committed to supporting programs and initiatives that have a strong impact within the communities we serve. However, due to the volume of funding requests that we receive, not every request that meets the guidelines will receive funding. Apply Now
