The Coca-Cola Foundation
The foundation of The Coca-Cola Company, based in Atlanta. Every year it awards more than two hundred grants worldwide —around 96 million dollars in 2023— to organisations it chooses itself: it does not open calls or accept applications. In Spain it has funded, for example, the restoration of the Guadalquivir wetlands with WWF.
Does not accept applications
It chooses which organisations to fund: there is no call and no form to apply through. Below you'll find how to get on its radar. Follow it and we'll let you know if it ever opens a call.
How it funds
By invitation. Its team and the Coca-Cola companies in each country choose the projects and invite them to submit a proposal on its donations portal; without that invitation, the portal cannot be used to ask for funding.
Who it funds
- Water: access, sanitation and restoration of rivers, basins and wetlands
- Women's economic empowerment
- Recycling, packaging collection and the circular economy
- Humanitarian aid in emergencies and disasters
How to approach it
- Make your organisation's work in its focus areas visible: impact reports, measurable results and partnerships with other organisations.
- In Spain, Coca-Cola Europacific Partners runs its own social programmes, such as GIRA Mujeres and GIRA Jóvenes, together with partner organisations: it is the most direct way to work with them.
- Write to Coca-Cola Spain's communications and sustainability team to present your project, rather than waiting for a call.
- Fundación Coca-Cola España focuses on culture and young people, and currently has no calls open to organisations.
