At Toyota, we believe an auto company can also be a vehicle for change. Toyota partners with nonprofit organizations in the U.S., focusing on improving the communities where we live and work. Our mission encapsulates support for education (with a priority on STEM), inclusive mobility, and community resilience, particularly in environmental sustainability and safety.
Toyota focuses on granting funds to programs that align with their primary areas of interest: education with a special focus on STEM to develop the future workforce, inclusive mobility to connect people to opportunities, and community resilience emphasizing environmental sustainability and safety. Secondary areas include health and human services, arts and culture, and civic and community initiatives. Grants are aimed at projects benefiting a large number of people, incorporating local educational programs, having clear and measurable goals, allowing for evaluation post-completion, providing leadership development, targeting youth within their funding priorities, and showcasing financial or strategic commitments from other funding sources.
