Coca-Cola Thank You Fund: Voting Is Closed
We're awarding grants to non-profit organisations across Ireland
Last year, we established the Thank You Fund to celebrate the 125th birthday of Coca-Cola, and this year we were delighted to run the Fund again. Coca-Cola, through the Fund, will distribute €125,000 to community and voluntary groups that encourage communities to lead active, healthy lifestyles.
Thank you to all the projects who took the time to submit an application to the Fund. The standard was incredibly high and we were so impressed by the truly brilliant work that takes place every day in communities across the island of Ireland.
From the applications received, 45 projects were shortlisted and put forward to the final voting stage. The public vote has been running throughout the month of September, and those votes will now count for 50% of the decision on which organisations win Thank You Fund grants - with the other 50% made up by our expert judging panel.
Congratulations to those who made the shortlist, and good luck!
