Call For Proposal 2012 - PepsiCo Foundation: offering grants to organizations that work to improve health, the environment and education

Posted by Unknown Saturday, March 10, 2012 0 comments
PepsiCo Foundation is committed to developing partnerships and programs in underserved regions that provide opportunities to improve health, the environment and education.

PepsiCo Foundation works in partnership with public, private and civil organizations with the goal of improving basic, fundamental problems and concerns in communities around the world.

PepsiCo Foundation may provide funding to organizations that implement programs that fall within current focus areas and that fulfill U.S. federal tax requirements referenced in the Grant section of this website.

We are committed to contributing to programs that will lead to sustainable outcomes and impacts for the global community. To achieve these goals, we invest resources by strategically partnering with nonprofits and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) that have demonstrated expertise and ability to magnify positive outcomes through action. Organizations must demonstrate a defined and purposeful fit to PepsiCo Foundation's funding priorities and have a track record of success to be considered for funding.

We carefully evaluate and support organizational capacity, recognizing it is a critical element to building and sustaining successful outcomes and programs. These programs must have the ability to be locally managed and be funded through a variety of sources. Foundation staff solicit proposals for all major grants (of over $100,000). To be considered for funding, an organization's mission and program goals must align with, and deliver on, PepsiCo Foundation's grant-making priorities.

Additionally, we welcome and encourage interaction and collaboration among grantee organizations. We seek to weave our common goals and shared talents so outcomes are effective and sustainable, and have a broad impact across all communities. We look to leverage the collective talents within the network of the partner organizations to amplify impacts.
