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

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
