What is different about WalmartGivesNWA from Walmart’s current Volunteerism Always Pays (VAP) and Event VAP programs?

• Walmart’s VAP and EVAP programs are only available for associates. A matching grant for eligible volunteered time in this WalmartGivesNWA is open to all community members.

• Walmart will make a grant through GivePulse in honor of eligible volunteer hours completed by community members and/or associates during the WalmartGivesNWA period, up to a maximum total matching grant amount of $1,000,000. Any requests for a matching grant made after the WalmartGivesNWA maximum amount is reached, will be rejected.

• Walmart’s VAP and EVAP programs require a minimum of 25 hours of eligible volunteered time to generate a Walmart grant. Through this timeframe, an individual only has to volunteer a minimum of 1 hour with an eligible nonprofit in order to request a matching grant.

• During the WalmartGivesNWA timeframe(June 8th – August 23rd), associates who live and work in NWA will be automatically redirected from their VAP or EVAP site to WalmartGivesNWA.com. The VAP and EVAP site will open again on August 24th.
