Ascend Initiative

At Walmart, engaging in our local communities is an important part of our culture. Working with GivePulse and its partner, Network for Good, we aim to enable community members and associates to connect with causes they care about and to promote community cohesion in El Paso. We will make charitable contributions for eligible volunteer hours serving eligible El Paso nonprofits, subject to the below guidelines from November 14th through December 31st, 2019.

The total volunteer matching maximum is $500,000. Walmart will not make additional matching grants for volunteer hours once the matching maximum has been reached.

Period and Deadlines

• Volunteers may request a match in the Givepulse system starting on November 14th through December 31st at 11:59 pm (Mountain Time).
• Nonprofit organizations will have until January 10th at 11:59 pm (Mountain Time) to complete the matching grant verification process.
• Matching grant verifications that are not completed by the nonprofit by January 10th at 11:59 pm (Mountain Time) will not be eligible to receive a matching grant.
