Local leaders understand the needs of their communities the best. That’s why we’ve partnered with the U.S. Conference of Mayors, the African American Mayors Association and state beverage associations on grant programs that directly support people and organizations making a real difference. In 2024 alone, we awarded more than $1.6 million to 30 cities across the country and their innovative programs that are working to advance the physical health of their citizens and/or the environmental health of their communities.

The men and women of America’s beverage companies care deeply for their communities and one another. They are moms and dads, daughters and sons, who show up for their neighbors day after day, whenever and wherever they’re needed. After hurricanes devastated communities across the southeast, beverage companies from all over the region jumped to support through providing water, meals and financial assistance. Ahead of the 2024-2025 school year, Coca-Cola Beverages Florida provided more than 5,500 students with new backpacks filled with pencils, notebooks, markers and other classroom supplies. In the spring, Keurig Dr Pepper awarded $730,000 in college tuition to students as part of the Dr Pepper Tuition Giveaway. More than 70 PepsiCo employees volunteered to plant more than 100 trees and plants in South Los Angeles on Earth Day. In these ways and so many more, we are here for you – always have been and always will.

America’s beverage companies have roots in every community across the country. Our companies, distributors and employees are delivering $247 billion in economic impact annually, providing more than 272,000 good-paying, family-supporting careers and contributed $2.5 billion to philanthropic causes in communities nationwide.
