The American Beverage Foundation for a Healthy America (Foundation) is dedicated to strengthening communities from coast to coast to create positive change for our nation. As a unified industry, and in partnership with key stakeholders, including elected officials and local community organizations, we know we can make a real difference. Since the Foundation’s inception, we’ve provided millions of dollars in grants directly to organizations and cities that are making a real impact in the lives of real people.
