State Giving Program

In every state we serve across the country, there are underserved populations who need help. Our State Advisory Councils, made up of Walmart associates representing each state, including Washington, D.C. and Puerto Rico, determine the needs within each state, review all eligible grant applications and make funding recommendations to the Walmart Foundation. 

The State Giving Program awards grants from the Foundation of $25,000 to $250,000.  

Nonprofit organizations must operate on a regional/state level or be affiliates/chapters of larger organizations that operate on the regional/state level.

If you are applying for funding for an organization or effort in Northwest Arkansas (Benton or Washington Counties), where Walmart's Home Office is located, please read about our Northwest Arkansas Giving Program.

Before applying, please note:

• The State Giving Program has two application cycles per year. The first cycle runs January to March. The second funding cycle begins in June and ends in August.
• Applications must be completed in full and submitted online to be considered.
• Submitting an online application does not guarantee funding.
• The State Giving Council and the Walmart Foundation reserve the right to adjust guidelines, submission deadlines and notification dates without prior notice.

Please read the State Giving Program Guidelines before beginning your application.

The State Giving Program application is currently closed.  The application will reopen on June 10, 2013.
