Corporate Giving: The Walmart Foundation
We want the associates and the management to do things together that contributes to the community and make them feel like a team, even if they don’t directly relate to selling or promoting our merchandise.
The Walmart Foundation
Walmart founded the Walmart Foundation as an internal corporate philanthropic organization in 1979 with a mission to create opportunities so people can live better. Walmart and the Walmart Foundation accomplish this through grants to the thousands of organizations that share this mission. The focus is on helping people live better. One community at a time.
