Created by Walmart founder Sam Walton and Helen Walton, the Foundation has become a philanthropic force with over $6 billion granted through its life to date. The Foundation's work centers on improving educational opportunities through charter schools, career pathways, and facility development, preserving rivers and oceans, and strengthening its home region of Northwest Arkansas and the Arkansas-Mississippi Delta. In pursuit of these goals, strategic giving has aimed at addressing systemic inequities and scaling impactful solutions, including investments in cultural infrastructure, affordable housing, trail development, and large-scale education reform initiatives.
