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 from Toyota is designed to support a broad range of initiatives that align with its core program areas of education, inclusive mobility, and community resilience. Additionally, it reflects Toyota's commitment to health and human services, arts and culture, and civic and community engagement. Successful funding requests demonstrate the potential for widespread impact, participation in local education, clear and measurable objectives, a framework for evaluation and reporting, leadership development, a focus on youth, and collaborative funding efforts.
Priority is given to initiatives focused on youth and diversity. Toyota primarily supports project-specific funding requests, though it may occasionally contribute to fundraising events, provided the majority of the funds raised are directly allocated to the organization.
