“In 1987, Sam Walton endowed a charitable foundation. The Walton Family Foundation was primarily focused on charter schools, but it later extended its program to include environmental issues, particularly those related to water.[7] In 2016, Alice and Jim put a $250 million grant towards building charter school facilities, in honor of their parents’ commitment to providing high-quality education. The Walton Family Foundation created the Building Equity Initiative to provide charter schools with access to capital to create and expand their facilities.[8] This initiative was established after the foundation announced in 2016 that it would spend $1 billion over the next five years to expand «educational opportunity» by partnering with charter school operators, researchers, and education reformers.[9] ”

“For instance, one of the EDF’s flagship partnerships is with Walmart, with whom it collaborates to «make the company more sustainable.» And it’s true that Walmart doesn’t donate to the EDF directly. However, the Walton Family Foundation, which is entirely controlled by members of the family that founded Walmart, gave the EDF $65 million between 2009 and 2013. In 201 1, the foundation provided the group with nearly 15 percent of its funding. Meanwhile, Sam Rawlings , grandson of Walmart founder Sam Walton, sits on the EDF’s board of trustees (identified merely as «Boatman, Philanthropist, Entrepreneur» on the organization’s website). The EDF claims that it «holds Walmart to the same standards we would any other company.» Which, judging by Walmart’ s rather dismal environmental record ” since this partnership began — from its central role in fueling urban sprawl to its steadily increasing emissions — is not a very high standard at all.” (p. 209)

“Billionaire sister and brother Alice and Jim Walton have explained this week’s $250 million grant from the Walton Family Foundation to aid in building charter school facilities as a salute to their parents’ emphasis on education. “My parents spent a lot of time with us growing up just enforcing the fact that education is what could really be the great equalizer in the world,” says Alice Walton, the only daughter of Wal-Mart founder Sam Walton and his wife Helen, in a video promoting the initiative. “The importance of providing high-quality education for as many children as we possibly can, for all children, I think is critical to the future of this country,” adds Jim Walton, the youngest of the three Walton sons. He has a fortune that Forbes estimates to be $36.3 billion and his sister’s fortune is estimated at $35 billion. ”
Rachel Tabachnick – Strategy for Privatizing Public Schools Spelled out by Dick DeVos in 2002 Heritage Foundation Speech – Talk to Action, 23/11/2016 – http://www.talk2action.org/story/2011/5/3/12515/58655/Front_Page/Strategy_for_Privatizing_Public_Schools_Spelled_out_by_Dick_DeVos_in_2002_Heritage_Foundation_Speech
“The Role of Right-Wing Think Tanks in the Pro-Voucher, Pro-Privatization Movement Further insight to the agenda of the voucher movement can be found in the policy papers of right-wing think tanks heavily funded by several DeVos family foundations as well as the foundations of the Koch, Scaife, Walton, Bradley, and other families. The Heritage Foundation, for instance, has received over $21 million from the Sarah Scaife Foundation alone. In a report by the National Committee for Responsive Philanthropy titled 1 Billion for Ideas: Conservative Think Tanks in the 1990s, 20 leading right-wing think tanks were described as spending a billion dollars on «anti-government and unregulated markets agenda.» The report states, «These policy groups have pushed aggressively to privatize Social Security and Medicare, loosen laws governing workplace safety and the rights of workers to organize, roll back environmental and consumer safety regulations, […] privatize systems of public education…» A primary focus of many right-wing think tanks is the privatization of public education and several of their leaders have signed a publicly posted proclamation calling for the end of «government involvement in education.» The Cato Institute is heavily funded by the Scaife, Koch, Bradley and Lambe Foundations. In the Cato Institute‘s Policy Analysis 269, Joe Bast, president of the Heartland Foundation states in a section of the paper titled «The Goal: Complete Separation of School and State.» … The plan was designed in think tanks funded by Koch, Scaife, Bradley, Olin and other mega-donors, but the execution at the state level has been the project of Dick and Betsy DeVos.”
