What do Spark Good Donations look like through Network for Good’s reporting tools?
Donations made through the Walmart Spark Good Program are reported without identifying information to Network for Good prior to disbursement, so the donations will reflect as “anonymous anonymous” on your reporting tools, and the date may not reflect the actual date of the donation.
NOTE: The Network for Good Support Team is unable to provide any further identifying information in regards to the donations received through Spark Good.
