FundScrip (a Fundstream Inc. program) announced today Walmart Canada has joined the FundScrip catalogue of participating gift card retailers. FundScrip fundraising groups can look forward to donations of 2 per cent on Walmart gift cards.

"After years of being the 'most wanted' gift card requested by our customers, we are delighted to announce Walmart gift cards are now available to FundScrip users," said Christopher Hill, Fundstream President and CEO. "Adding the Walmart is a significant milestone for our program. It advances our goal of helping Canadian fundraisers raise the most money as easily as possible for important causes and it further demonstrates Walmart's on-going commitment to Canadian charities and non-profit organizations. Everyone benefits."

The FundScrip program enables not-for-profit organizations, schools, sports teams, and cultural groups to raise money by receiving a percentage of gift cards purchased for leading retailers at face value by their supporters.
