CCAF is at the heart of our community strategy in Australia. This philanthropic fund is a joint initiative between Coca-Cola Amatil and Coca-Cola South Pacific, created to support the community through the distribution of $1.1 Million in grants, every year.
Our mission is to inspire moments of happiness and possibilities for young Australians.
Our aspiration is to create meaningful philanthropic partnerships that will help build stronger, happier communities, particularly for young Australians aged 13 to 19. We will do this by supporting programs that build capability through growing optimism, increasing levels of empowerment, create possibilities and/or improve the wellbeing of the community in which the program operates.
