Our Work
Big change can take decades, even generations, to realize. For these changes to endure, the hard work that gets us there must be innovative and guided by the people and communities closest to the complex challenges we face. Across our work, we look, listen, learn and lead to create opportunity and achieve true impact.
The Power of Opportunity
Everyone deserves an opportunity to succeed. No matter where you live. What you look like. Or how modest your beginnings. The Walton Family Foundation believes in the power of opportunity to transform lives. Build strong communities. And protect a natural world that sustains us all.
A shared vision for the future
The problems we face today are more interconnected than ever. No one can solve them alone. The best ideas are often hiding in plain sight. We just need to listen and look for them.
At the Walton Family Foundation, we continually strive to understand better what works — and where we can improve.
We listen to caregivers and conservationists. Educators and entrepreneurs. Farmers and futurists. Doers and dreamers. Their perspectives help us reach shared understanding and create innovative solutions.
