In 1984, Roberto Goizueta, then Chairman and CEO of The Coca‑Cola Company, established The Coca‑Cola Foundation. Over the past three decades, The Foundation has grown from a local foundation into a global philanthropic organization.

Since its inception, the Foundation has supported learning inside and outside the classroom. However, addressing critical community challenges and opportunities is an evolving process. In 2007, the Foundation broadened its support to include global water stewardship programs and community recycling programs. Today, our strategies align with the Company’s sustainability platform and include economic empowerment and entrepreneurship. In 2022, The Coca‑Cola Foundation contributed $94.8 million to 301 organizations around the world.
