2025 Coca-Cola Thank You Fund Inviting Applications

Applications are now open for the 2025 Coca-Cola Thank You Fund. With a grant total of €200,000, the Fund aims to support and empower youth interventions across the island of Ireland under the pillars of inclusion and inspiration, creating opportunities for education, employability, and leadership development among those aged 16-25. 

Now celebrating its 15th year, the Coca-Cola Thank You Fund has awarded more than €1.7 million to 182 non-profit organisations, making a meaningful impact in communities across the island of Ireland. Operating in partnership with the Irish Youth Foundation (IYF), and supporting partners YouthAction Northern Ireland, the Fund is inviting non-profit community groups to apply for a grant share of between €10,000 and €25,000** for projects that equip vulnerable young people with the skills, support and confidence needed to navigate life’s challenges and unlock their full potential.  

Kellie Harrington, an advocate for youth intervention and its transformative power, was joined by previous Fund recipients, Way2Work, to launch this year’s Thank You Fund. In 2024, Way2Work received a grant total of €15,000 to provide young people in remission from cancer with meaningful employment and training opportunities, empowering them to take control of their futures. 

Applications for this year’s Coca-Cola Thank You Fund can be submitted via www.coca-cola.ie/thankyou until midnight on Wednesday 26 March, with entries assessed under the categories of inclusion and inspiration. Applicants are encouraged to visit the website for further details and full terms and conditions.
