Coca-Cola Thank You Fund 2025
The Coca-Cola Thank You Fund is back again this year! The fund opens for applications on Wednesday 26th February at 9am and closes on Wednesday 26th March at midnight

Fund Objective
A fund of €200,000 / £171,000 (sterling figure based on conversion rates at the time) will be available again this year. The 2025 Fund will focus on one overall theme: Supporting and empowering youth interventions across the island of Ireland under the pillars of Inclusion and Inspiration.

The Fund is seeking applications from community-based projects and programmes across Ireland and
Northern Ireland that are focused on empowering young people aged 16-25 who are not in employment, education or training, or are at risk of disengagement.

In particular, the projects funded will target young people experiencing economic disadvantage under
one of the following two pillars:

1 Inclusion: Empowering young people through education and employability

The fund will support education programmes that promote mentorship, increase employability
skills, enhance personal agency and strengthen essential life skills.

2 Inspiration: Supporting young people to take positive action to create a better society.

The fund will support projects and programmes focused on community interventions and
empowerment initiatives aimed at ensuring all young people feel valued, supported and included
in society.

The fund will support not-for-profit or charitable organisations working with young people across
the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland aged between 16-25 years.

What funding opportunities are available?
Awards of between €8,000 – €15,000 / £7,000 – £13,000 (sterling figure based on conversion rates at
the time) will be available.
Organisations applying for funding will be asked to submit a detailed budget breakdown of
expenditure for the total funds being requested. The final allocation of awards will be determined
after all applications have been reviewed.
