Who We Are

Governance and Values


Walmart Spark icon

Giving by Walmart is overseen by a committee of Walmart executives, consisting of president and CEO Doug McMillon and a group of executives selected for their experience and expertise, in consultation with the Nominating and Governance Committee, a subset of Walmart's majority independent board. The committee plays a role in the oversight of Walmart's social, community and sustainability initiatives and charitable giving. Walmart giving includes the company’s donations to the Walmart Foundation, and other cash and in-kind donations. The Walmart Foundation is a separately incorporated 501(c)(3) private foundation, entirely funded by the company.


Kathleen McLaughlin is president of the Walmart Foundation and is also executive vice president and chief sustainability officer of Walmart. She leads our charitable giving efforts, which, in FY2023, totaled more than $1.7 billion in cash and in-kind support to programs that align with our global philanthropic priorities: Creating Opportunity, Advancing Sustainability, Strengthening Community and the Center for Racial Equity.


The Foundation’s financial statements are audited independently each year. Investments shown on the Walmart.org website, as of March 2022, represent individual grants from fiscal years 2021 and 2022.
