Dr Pepper Snapple Group

Our Corporate Philanthropy Mission

At Dr Pepper Snapple Group, ACTION is at the heart of everything we do. It all begins with our Call to ACTION. Every DPS employee contributes to our success by taking action to meet the needs of our customers and consumers. ACTION is also about giving back to our communities.

All across North America, our employees are helping to improve communities through our corporate philanthropy program called ACTION Nation. The mission of ACTION Nation is to foster physically active, engaged and sustainable communities where our employees, customers and consumers live and work.

Our Philanthropic Focus Areas

ACTION Nation is designed to focus our philanthropic outreach in four areas:

Charitable Donation Requests

We support a myriad of causes and nonprofit organizations that are aligned with ACTION Nation and benefit the communities where our offices are located. If you have a charitable request, please submit it at least 30 days prior to your event and allow at least two weeks for a response. DPS does not consider funding for the following as part of our corporate philanthropy program:

1. Organizations that do not have an Internal Revenue section 501(c)(3) status.
2. Requests from organizations outside the communities where DPS operates.
3. Requests outside of Canada, the Caribbean, Mexico or the United States.
4. Individuals.
5. Annual or capital campaigns and endowment funds.
6. Conferences or seminars.
7. Donations for religious or political purposes.
8. United Way agencies, except for special initiatives not already funded through local campaigns.
9. Private foundations.
10. Courtesy advertising (including yearbooks and school programs).

If your request meets the above giving guidelines, please submit a formal request through Sponsorwise, our online sponsorship and donation system.

Sponsorship Requests

You can also submit non-charitable, brand-related sponsorship requests, such as ones related to sports marketing, events and entertainment, music, individual/endorsements and venue pouring rights via Sponsorwise. Brand-related requests, which take longer to properly activate, will require more lead time. Please submit your request at least six months prior to your event and allow at least four weeks for a response.

Note: We no longer accept requests by phone, fax, e-mail or mail. All requests must be submitted through this online system for consideration.
