Description
Spark Good Local Grants, funded by the Walmart Foundation, provide direct cash support to local organizations—such as nonprofits, schools, government entities, and faith-based groups—serving the unique needs of communities where Walmart U.S. stores, Sam’s Clubs, and Distribution Centers operate. Grants are awarded through an open, competitive process and are intended to strengthen local communities via projects that align with Walmart’s priority areas: economic opportunity, sustainability, community well-being, and disaster preparedness/response. Facility managers review and recommend applications based on local impact and alignment with Walmart’s community investment philosophy.
