About the Goizueta Foundation

The Goizueta Foundation supports educational programs that promote sustainable change and have a long-term impact in the community. It was founded by Roberto C. Goizueta who was Chairman and CEO of The Coca-Cola Company until his death in 1997.

Mr. Goizueta was a native of Cuba and a graduate of Yale University. In creating the Goizueta Foundation, Mr. Goizueta sought to acknowledge his indebtedness to this country and assist efforts to strengthen the American family.
