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.
The grant program by Toyota is designed to support nonprofit organizations across the U.S. that work within the company's key program areas. The broad goals include fostering education with a special focus on STEM, developing inclusive mobility solutions to connect people to opportunities, and building community resilience with an emphasis on environmental sustainability and safety. The program also supports secondary areas such as health and human services, arts and culture, and civic and community engagement. Grants are awarded to projects that benefit a large number of people, align with local educational programs, have clear and measurable goals, include mechanisms for evaluation and reporting, provide leadership and development opportunities, target youth, and demonstrate financial or strategic support from other funding organizations.
