Coca-Cola Ireland and its strategic bottling partner Coca‑Cola HBC Ireland and Northern Ireland have announced the launch of the 2026 Coca‑Cola Thank You Fund. With €100,000 in grant funding available this year, the Fund’s total investment in youth and local community organisations since 2011 will surpass €2 million, supporting programmes that empower young people through inclusion and wellbeing for future work readiness.

Now entering its 16th year, the Coca-Cola Thank You Fund has supported nearly 200 non-profit organisations, creating meaningful impact in local communities across the island of Ireland. Over that time, the Fund has helped a generation of young people to build confidence, skills and opportunity, with many of those impacted now the community leaders, mentors and role models shaping the next generation.
