Philanthropy
The Coca-Cola Company and its philanthropic arm, The Coca-Cola Foundation, aim to make a greater impact on the communities we serve around the world by being responsive to the citizenship priorities of the communities in which we live and work. At The Coca-Cola Company, we recognize that we cannot have a healthy and growing business unless the communities we serve are healthy and sustainable. We are committed to improving the quality of life in the communities where we do business and have realigned our investment priorities to reflect and respond to the global and local nature of our business. Our renewed strategy focuses on global pillars where we can make a unique and sustainable difference: water stewardship, active healthy living, community recycling, and education.
Water Stewardship ? To support access to clean water and sanitation, watershed protection in water-stressed regions, and education and awareness programs that promote water conservation within communities
Active Healthy Living ? To support access to exercise, physical activity and nutrition education programs,
programs that motivate behavior modification, and programs that encourage lifestyle/behavioral changes
Community Recycling ? To increase liter abatement efforts, advance recovery and reuse, increase community recycling awareness, and support research and innovation
Education ? To support student scholarships, school drop-out prevention, access to education programs, and other education initiatives, per local business unit priorities
Grant Requirements
The Coca-Cola Company and The Coca-Cola Foundation are based in the U.S. for tax and legal purposes. Both award grants in the U.S. and in many countries around the world. The following requirements must be met for funding consideration:
? Grants from The Coca-Cola Foundation must further its charitable purposes.
? Grants that have a direct connection to the business should be funded by The Coca-Cola Company.

Eligible organizations include: ? A charity registered with the Internal Revenue Service as a "section 501 (c)3" tax exempt organization; or ? A foreign organization that has received a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service that it is a "section 501 (c)3" tax exempt organization; or
? A foreign organization that is the equivalent of a US charity.
Corporate and Foundation funding strategies are guided by business priorities, tax requirements, and legal compliance.

? Individuals, religious organizations or endeavors, political, legislative, lobbying or fraternal organizations, travel, fundraising events or sponsorships, capital campaigns, construction or renovation projects
