Do you like to drink Coke? Which flavor is your favorite, or do you prefer their line of bottled water? If you love drinking cola flavored soda, then you should know that Coca-Cola is doing some real good in the world with contributions to their beverage company. The company’s charitable foundation has donated over $1.5B to different organizations around the world since it was formed! That’s right, your favorite soda pop company clearly cares about their consumers and those who are in need. Let’s take a look at what organizations benefited from such generous donations the company has made from its inception through 2023.

First, and what seems to be foremost, the Coca-Cola Foundation uses contributions to provide funding to different philanthropic ideas around the world. Specifically, Coke likes to support ideas that they believe can be globally transformative and provide positive economic impact. This means that they send your donations to the people who have big ideas and enough power to make real change happen. Every time you buy a soda at the store, think of the good things that Coke could be doing with your enjoyment.

Each year, over 200 grants are gifted from the Coca-Cola Foundation to positive impact projects in communities all around the globe. Within the last $1.6B invested from the company, people from all over have seen more access to clean water from sustainable sources. Invested institutions have also been able to provide better education and employment opportunities to those in high risk areas. From inner city issues to global struggles, Coke is the soft drink company to watch for real positive impact.

One of the most unique and beneficial things the company does is simply matching their employee’s efforts. For whatever time and energy any Coke employee makes in their local community, the company matches their contribution in worldwide investments. The company provides employees the ability to essentially double dip in their charitable contributions so they can make an even bigger impact together. 

How cool is it that the biggest soda name in the world spends time and money supporting everyone? It really goes to show what kind of good can come from something as small as buying a Coke. Next your dentist tells you that soda is bad for you, tell them that it’s good for someone else. You can also mention that others get more access to clean water around the world whenever you enjoy your favorite bubbly beverage.
