PepsiCo and its operating divisions have a long and proud history of supporting communities where we do business. We demonstrate our support through charitable contributions, in-kind donations to local nonprofit organizations and associate volunteerism.
Guidelines
PepsiCo Contributions’ goal is to strengthen the communities where we live and work through community investment.
PepsiCo, through our charitable contributions, is committed to advancing objectives related to education, health and wellness, diversity and inclusion, and thought leadership. In advancing these objectives, we provide support to approved organizations on an equal-access basis. In that regard, PepsiCo does not discriminate in awarding grants on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, national origin, disability, veteran status or political and philosophical viewpoints. However, PepsiCo has the right to determine if a given project meets its objectives. As it relates to the promotion of diversity and inclusion, PepsiCo is committed to supporting equality generally, including equality in the workplace.
All requests for funding must be submitted through PepsiCo’s Letter of Interest process.
