The main focus in all of Walmart Foundation’s work is on empowering low-income people to help them live better. Their National Giving Program allows them to work strategically with organizations working across one or more states to address social issues strongly aligned with the focus areas. The fund is often provided to organizations having local affiliates around the country. Moreover, the majority of grants from this program include re-grants to implement programs in local communities.
