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 supports programs benefiting the community in education with a strong focus on STEM, inclusive mobility by developing solutions that connect people to opportunities, and community resilience with a keen interest in environmental sustainability and safety. Additionally, health and human services, arts and culture, and civic and community projects receive secondary consideration. Funding prioritizes projects that benefit a broad audience, participate in local educational initiatives, exhibit measurable goals, include means for evaluation, provide leadership development, target youth within their focus areas, and have backing from other funding sources.
Toyota places a high emphasis on initiatives focused on youth and diversity. While their funding predominantly targets project-specific proposals, they are occasionally willing to contribute to fundraising events, provided that a significant portion of the proceeds benefit the organization directly.
