Getting a Coke machine for your business does far more than provide a benefit for your staff and customers. Coke is notorious for being charitable and giving back to the community, most notably through the Coca-Cola Foundation. With each purchase of a beverage, people around the world are offered a helping hand.
Since the FoundationÛªs inception in 1984, Coke has given millions of dollars in support of many causes. The company gave $117 million in 2015 alone to charity.
That number is sure to give anyone Û÷all the feelsÛª. But what kinds of charities does the worldÛªs most popular brand support? Below are the different ways in which something as simple as a Coke machine in your office can help many people.
The Coca-Cola Foundation's Areas of Priority

The Coca-Cola Foundation also supports arts and culture programs, disaster relief, and HIV/AIDS prevention and awareness.
