Spark Good FAQs
Spark Good is a new way of giving that makes it easier for associates and customers to support causes they care about, and for nonprofits to access Walmart’s customers, associates, and business and philanthropic resources. Nonprofits that want to take advantage of Spark Good resources must first become verified through FrontDoor, a third-party verification software powered by CyberGrants.
Walmart uses a third party called FrontDoor, powered by CyberGrants to validate and verify that a nonprofit is in good standing, and that each individual associated with the organization is deemed an "authorized user" from that organization. Once an organization is FrontDoor verified, the organization may access other benefits by other companies in the FrontDoor ecosystem.
To start the FrontDoor verification process, please visit FrontDoor, powered by CyberGrants. For more details about the process, refer to this How-to Guide to become FrontDoor Verified.
For the verification process, an organization will need to provide a minimum of the following:
- Organization’s primary email
- IRS determination letter
- Current 990
- Organization’s Bank Account Information
- Additional information or interviews as required
If you or your organization is unable or unwilling to provide any of the requirements listed, Walmart and FrontDoor powered by CyberGrants may not be able to serve you.
FrontDoor verifies only the primary account owner for each organization. All secondary users associated with a FrontDoor account are authorized by an organization’s primary account owner. Authorized users may include employees, contractors, staff, and agents of organizations. Authorized users must be at least 18 years old.
To access the nonprofit portal, all authorized users will need to have a Walmart.com account that matches the email address used for their FrontDoor account.
As FrontDoor is a third-party partner that Walmart works with, please reach out to them directly at frontdoor@cybergrants.com.
The Spark Good Nonprofit Portal is a one-stop shop for eligible organizations to manage their charitable activities with Walmart, such as applying for local community grants, setting up customer-facing registries for needed items, requesting space outside of our facilities to fundraise, signing up for Round Up and more.
Please visit Spark Good Terms of Use to review eligibility requirements.
An eligible organization must first become FrontDoor verified to access the nonprofit portal. After the organization has received its verification approval, it should set up a Walmart.com account using the same email address used for FrontDoor to access the portal. Please wait at least 24 hours after receiving your FrontDoor approval email before logging into the nonprofit portal.
Yes, if you are listed as an authorized user in FrontDoor for more than one organization and the email address used for FrontDoor for each of these organizations matches the Walmart.com account that you are currently logged into, you can access multiple charitable organizations in your nonprofit portal.
