Our funding criteria changes from year to year. For Smart Drinking projects, please reach out to the leadership team for more information. For community resilience projects, our request for proposal is shared with potential partners in Q3 of the calendar year.

An intervention program to support alcohol service staff, Responsible Beverage Service (RBS) programs are designed to help prevent sales to minors and reduce underage drinking, binge drinking, and drunk driving. The Foundation developed this Responsible Beverage Service Toolkit to help businesses, communities, and regions develop and implement effective RBS programs by providing best practices and practical guidance from successful RBS programs.

Road safety is the public health pursuit of safe and secure transport, aiming to reduce traffic-related injuries and deaths through data, infrastructure, and behavioral interventions. The Foundation developed the Improve Road Safety Platform to support governments, communities, and safety professionals in making informed decisions to enhance road safety. The site allows users to upload regional data and generate customized visualization dashboards that identify crash hot spots and road user profiles—helping inform targeted, effective interventions for safer roads.

Illicit alcohol—unregulated and often dangerous—poses a serious threat to youth in Zambia, contributing to a range of health and social harms. This toolkit, developed by the AB InBev Foundation in partnership with local and international experts, equips communities with practical, evidence-based strategies to prevent underage drinking. Designed for use in schools, families, and community settings, it offers tools to address risk factors, promote protective behaviors, and implement effective prevention programs and policies tailored to the Zambian context.

The GSDG Data Library is an independent, external warehouse designed to help advance knowledge, science, and the field of public health by making all data sourced in the pursuit of the Global Smart Drinking Goals initiative available for scientific use. HBSA, the external evaluator of the GSDG Initiative, oversees the collection, coordination, measurement, and evaluation of all data collected as well as its analysis and assessment. Scientific researchers can apply to access GSDG Data Library data to replicate evaluation results, conduct their own research, and plan programs to reduce harmful alcohol consumption.

The Columbus, Ohio City Pilot implemented a Safe Rides program in 2017 to address alcohol-impaired driving by offering free round-trip transportation to high-risk areas when consuming alcohol. When the external evaluation of the program showed unexpected results, a cross-sectoral convening was held in Columbus, Ohio to discuss whether and how safe rides programs could be redesigned to play a role in advancing public health goals. The outcome of that event is the Safe Rides Convening Memo, funded by the AB InBev Foundation and developed in partnership with FSG. To read more about the Safe Rides Program and Convening, visit the Safe Rides Case Study or download the full Safe Rides Convening Memo below.

The Foundation provided funding to Tufts University School of Medicine to develop Global Alcohol Guidance Labels that can be used by brewers. The guidance labels serve to promote alcohol health literacy by making product information more transparent. The label messages include information on alcohol-related harms, such as disease and injury, as well as actionable advice about how to avoid harmful consumption. Alcohol labeling is a rapidly evolving area of research, and the Tufts Global Alcohol Guidance Labeling Project has incorporated the newest research into their developmental process. As labels are developed, they will be made available to brewers and the public health community. We fully expect the labels to contribute to the scientific dialog about how to best inform consumers and decrease alcohol-related harms.
