Project Justice
In response to civil unrest in 2020, Molson Coors launched Project Justice, a program that donated $1.5 million to support North American organizations dedicated to equity, empowerment, justice and community building. After engaging our own employee resource groups for feedback, Molson Coors funded 26 social justice organizations across the U.S. and Canada. The goal: to build a better and more equal future for us all, while at the same time investing in the needs of BIPOC communities suffering from the effects of systemic racism and discrimination. In 2021, we will invest another $1.5 million in this initiative, which we view as a movement, not a moment.
