What is the name of Walmart's charitable foundation?

Walmart’s charitable foundation is called the Walmart Foundation.

The Walmart Foundation is a separately incorporated 501(c)(3) private foundation funded entirely by Walmart. It supports philanthropic initiatives connected with communities where the company operates, with work spanning economic opportunity, environmental sustainability and community support. Walmart’s corporate giving and the foundation’s grants are related, but they are not exactly the same activity.

The foundation was established in 1979, during Walmart’s period of rapid expansion across the United States. Its local-giving model has historically allowed stores, clubs and distribution centers to support organizations in their own communities, alongside larger national and international programs.

The most important naming distinction is between the Walmart Foundation and the Walton Family Foundation. The latter was established independently by Sam and Helen Walton in 1987 and is a separate family philanthropy, with major interests in education, environmental conservation and regional development. “Sam’s Club Foundation” and “Better Together Fund” refer to other initiatives or programs, not the formal name of Walmart’s main charitable foundation.
