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 aims to back nonprofit organizations in the U.S. across primary areas such as education (with an emphasis on STEM for future workforce development), inclusive mobility (creating solutions to connect people to opportunities), and community resilience (focusing on environmental sustainability and driver/passenger safety). Secondary support areas include health and human services, arts and culture, and civic and community projects. Toyota looks for projects that benefit many people, participate in local education, have measurable goals, allow for evaluation, foster leadership, target youth, and involve multiple funding partners.
