Funding Guidelines

Funding Guidelines

We’ve established MillerCoors guidelines for organizations that wish to request funding from our company.

WE EVALUATE PROPOSALS BY ASKING SEVERAL QUESTIONS:

• Can your organization create and continue high-quality, innovative programs that provide services that improve your community?

• Does (or will) your organization’s program give measurable results?

• Does your organization have an experienced, qualified staff?

• Is your organization financially stable? Can it provide services effectively and efficiently?

PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT WE CAN'T INVEST IN OR CONTRIBUTE TO:

• Organizations without 501(c)(3) status.

• Individuals pursuing personal programs or projects.

• Organizations where most individuals who would benefit from our investment are under the legal drinking age, with the exception of youth service organizations whose services work to prevent underage drinking and provide the tools to help people make smart choices to enjoy life.

• Political candidates or political organizations.

• Religious organizations for religious purposes.

• Health-related causes or diseases.

• Funding for travel.

• Organizations with a limited group of supporters or patrons, such as fraternal or social groups.

Most of our funding is directed to our nine brewery communities or our corporate headquarters in Chicago.
