Applications are now open for the Coca-Cola Thank You Fund to
provide some much-needed support to youth groups across the island of Ireland.
It’s been ten years since we first launched The Coca-Cola Thank
You Fund, set up to mark the 125th anniversary of their company and give back
to some of Ireland and Northern Ireland’s most amazing youth-centric causes.
In light of the devastating impact of COVID-19
on communities and young people, they have committed this year’s Coca-Cola
Thank You Fund to the responsive efforts of non-profits on the frontline of
their own local battle.
They’re dishing out €50,000 to worthy causes
that fit their 2020 theme of ‘A fund to help with young people’s recovery
post-COVID-19.’
Funding Information
From there, successful
recipients will be awarded either €5,000 or €10,000 in funding, as decided by
our judging panel.
