The Coca-Cola Company, its global philanthropic arm, The Coca-Cola Foundation, and its regional foundations strive daily to be responsive to the citizenship priorities in the global communities where 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. As a global beverage company, we have committed ourselves to improving the quality of life in the communities where we do business. Our community investment priorities reflect the global and local nature of our business and focuses on areas where The Coca-Cola Company can make a unique and sustainable difference: women, water and the environment, education and community well-being.

Priority Areas

Empowering Women

Water Security

Protecting the Environment

Enhancing Communities

Educating Scholars

In addition, the Foundation supports many local community programs such as arts and culture, community and economic development programs in the United States, as well as HIV/AIDS prevention and awareness programs in Africa and Latin America.

Our community commitment is shared across The Coca-Cola system. When natural disasters strike, The Coca-Cola Foundation and the entire Coca-Cola system respond to offer emergency relief. Through the Coca-Cola Matching Gifts Program, eligible employees make personal contributions to qualified organizations and The Coca-Cola Foundation matches those contributions on a 2-for-1 basis.

Philanthropy is our commitment to communities in which we operate and broader society. We focus our resources on a limited number of key projects that can deliver valuable benefits from our contributions and those of our partners. We give priority to innovative, high-quality projects that meet the following criteria:

• promote sustainable development
• offer an opportunity for Roche to use its expertise and logistics capabilities
• involve Roche actively at an early stage with local authorities and established partners
• engage Roche employees in cultural (focus on contemporary arts), educational and social activities
• managed by an accredited charity

The RADx-UP CDCC Rapid Research Pilot Program

The CDCC Rapid Research Pilot Program (RP2) is designed to provide support for small, manageable research studies. The goal of the program is to improve access to and uptake of diagnostic COVID-19 testing in communities of underserved and vulnerable populations and to better understand factors that have led to the disproportionate impact of COVID-19 on these groups, and develop interventions to reduce those disparities.

Researchers seeking funds to conduct COVID-19 testing can apply for up to $200,000 in direct cost funding and, if awarded, will have one year to complete the community-engaged NIH-funded RP2 research project.

Researchers from community health departments, institutions of higher education – especially historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs), tribally controlled colleges and universities (TCCUs), Hispanic-serving institutions, and other minority-serving institutions – as well as industry, tech incubators, innovation offices, and state and local governments are all encouraged to apply.

The Lawrence Foundation is a private family foundation focused on making grants to support environmental, human services and other causes.

The Lawrence Foundation was established in mid-2000. We make both program and operating grants and do not have any geographical restrictions on our grants. Nonprofit organizations that qualify for public charity status under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code or other similar organizations are eligible for grants from The Lawrence Foundation.  

Grant Amount and Types

Grants typically range between $5,000 - $10,000. In some limited cases we may make larger grants, but that is typically after we have gotten to know your organization over a period of time. We also generally don’t make multi-year grants, although we may fund the same organization on a year by year basis over a period of years.

General operating or program/project grant requests within our areas of interests are accepted.

About

Jordan’s off and on course experiences have shaped his personal charitable outlook. The Jordan Spieth Family Foundation offers a platform for Jordan to lend time, help grow awareness and offer financial support for four philanthropic areas: special needs youth, junior golf, military support and pediatric cancer.

Jordan Spieth Family Foundation Grants

For our community grant partnerships, the JSFF aims to work alongside fewer groups with deeper, more impactful goals to make substantial differences within unique community programs; please keep this in mind while applying. We also request all interested groups review our mission pillar goals below, which communicate in detail our mission goals through grant partnerships. We will strongly adhere to these focus areas when considering applications.

The Jordan Spieth Family Foundation focuses on impactful and direct lines of support through our four mission pillars: Individuals with Special Needs, Junior Golf, Military Families and Veterans and Pediatric Cancer. For each initiative we support, JSFF seeks to fund innovative and achievable ideas that aim to help remove barriers and/or provide opportunities that directly impact individuals and families within our mission focus.

• Individuals with Special Needs
  • JSFF seeks to partner with programs that close the gap for those with cognitive or neurological special needs, ensuring these children and young adults have access to developmental programming and vocational opportunities to expand their communication, self-help, and social skills.
  • We focus on pursuing partners that create developmental opportunities and promote inclusion for the intellectually disabled.
• Junior Golf
  • We believe the game of golf can be a conduit for many life skills and an on-ramp for expanding youth horizons.
  • JSFF will focus on junior golf programs that are diverse, emphasize outreach and remove potential socio-economic barriers to the game.
  • We also pursue partnerships with groups that utilize golf as an avenue to furthering education and/or mentorship opportunities.
• Military Families and Veterans
  • In an effort to honor those military members who have served our country, JSFF pursues established grant partners who directly impact service members and/or their families through financial aid opportunities, familial respite support, mental and physical therapies and avenues that look to provide long-term support mechanisms.
• Pediatric Cancer
  • Our goal is to fund programs that offer direct care for children fighting cancer and their families.
    • This includes supporting child life services, emotional and social therapies, familial respite, and avenues to overcome financial burdens on families when facing a diagnosis.
  • Additionally, the ultimate goal of JSFF and our partners would be to eradicate pediatric cancers and we welcome grant applications for research and clinical trials. 

MLK Day of Service Grant

Inclusive volunteering is great for people and communities. When people give back together, they build friendships, practice their civic duty, learn skills they can use in the future, and help people in need.

But inclusive volunteering is not just a great idea for people—inclusive volunteering is a win for organizations. By developing inclusive volunteer activities, organizations show their dedication not just to their community, but also to supporting genuine inclusion for all members of their community, regardless of background or ability. This year, The Arc is once again partnering with the Corporation for National and Community Service to offer $5,000 and $10,000 grants to nonprofit community organizations to develop service projects that commemorate Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Projects must be designed for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) to volunteer alongside people without disabilities and should focus on providing food assistance to people in need in the community.

Over the past five years, The Arc has helped organizations across the country implement inclusive volunteering projects. They’ve seen firsthand the value of inclusive volunteering for the organization, with activities leading to new community partnerships and increased ability to reach new groups and service areas.

Grantees will:

• Partner with a service club to recruit volunteers with and without disabilities from diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds to participate in the project
• Work with hunger-focused groups (e.g., community food banks, food pantries, soup kitchens) to deliver emergency food aid to people in need
• Provide food aid on the MLK Day of Service and continue through the end of the grant (May 31, 2020)
• Raise $31,000 ($10,00 grant) or $15,500 ($5,000 grant) in in-kind or cash matching funds to support the project

Introduction

The Arc is proud to have been selected by the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS), the federal agency that leads the Martin Luther King, Jr. Day of Service, to help plan and execute volunteer projects that unite Americans in service for the MLK Day of Service and throughout the year.

The Arc will work with selected applicants to accomplish the following goals:

• Partner with a local service club or organization to recruit volunteers with and without disabilities from diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds.
• Engage volunteers to serve a specified number of service hours.
• Work with hunger-focused groups or organizations (e.g. community food banks, food pantries, soup kitchens) to deliver emergency food aid to people in need.
• Provide food aid on the MLK Day of Service (January 20, 2020) and MLK Day of Service weekend (January 17-20, 20120). Volunteer service activities can also occur before the Day of Service and continue through the end of the grant period (August 31, 2020).
• Contribute in-kind or cash matching funds to support the project during the grant year (September 1, 2019 – August 31, 2020).
• Build or enhance their organization’s use of best practices in recruiting and managing volunteers of all abilities from diverse backgrounds.
• Share print-quality pictures and stories and report information about the project with CNCS, The Arc and the public.

The Arc will award competitive grants of either $5,000 or $10,000 to selected community organizations that commit to these activities.

What is the Martin Luther King, Jr. Day of Service?

After a long struggle, legislation was signed in 1983 creating a federal holiday marking the birthday of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. In 1994, Congress designated the Martin Luther King Jr. Federal Holiday as a national day of service and charged the Corporation for National and Community Service with leading the effort to engage Americans in community service to mark this day. Taking place each year on the third Monday in January, the MLK Day of Service is the only federal holiday observed as a national day of service-– a "day on, not a day off." It calls for Americans from all walks of life to work together to provide solutions to our most pressing national problems. The MLK Day of Service empowers individuals, strengthens communities, bridges barriers, creates solutions to social problems, and moves us closer to Dr. King's vision of a "Beloved Community."

Why Serve on MLK Day of Service?

Dr. King believed in a nation of freedom and justice for all, and encouraged all citizens to live up to the purpose and potential of America by applying the principles of nonviolence to make this country a better place to live—creating the Beloved Community. The MLK Day of Service is a way to transform Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s life and teachings into community action that helps solve social problems. That service may meet a tangible need, or it may meet a need of the spirit. On this day, Americans of every age and background celebrate Dr. King through service projects that strengthen communities, empower individuals, bridge barriers, and create solutions.

Why address food insecurity?

It seems improbable in a country where 90 million citizens are battling obesity that 49 million are also having food security issues. However, that's the reality in the United States today. And more than 16 million of our most vulnerable residents-- America's children-- are paying the price. Providing food assistance is one way communities can help improve all people’s access to healthy food.

Why The Arc?

As the largest and oldest advocacy organization for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their families, The Arc knows that people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) have a lot to offer their community, and many do so by giving back in a variety of ways.

The Arc is proud to be a part of the MLK Day of Service and to support community organizations to develop volunteer projects that include volunteers with and without disabilities to serve people in need.

In 2020,77 CNCS will invest $206,345 (30% of the project cost) to support The Arc’s project. This investment will be matched with $487,857 in in-kind support from organizations and The Arc and subgrantee organizations. This in-kind support will be financed by approximately $117,086 in public money (24%) and $370,771 (76%) in private resources.
