Walmart invites applications
for its Local Community Grant program. Through the program, grants of up
to $5,000 will be awarded in support of nonprofit organizations operating on
the local level (or an affiliate/chapter of a larger organization that
operates locally) and directly benefit the service area of the facility from
which they are requesting funding. Organizations may apply in eight areas:
community and economic development, diversity and inclusion, education,
environmental sustainability, health and human service, hunger relief and
healthy eating, public safety, and quality of life. To be eligible, applicants must
meet one of the following criteria: an organization that holds a current
tax-exempt status as a public charity under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal
Revenue Code, listed on the IRS Master File and conducting activities within
the United States, classified as a public charity under Section 509(a)(1),
(2) or (3) (Types I or II), that is CyberGrants FrontDoor verified; a
recognized government entity, such as state, county or city agency, including
law enforcement or fire departments, that are requesting funds exclusively
for public purposes and CyberGrants FrontDoor verified; a K-12 public or
