I. Toyota's Mission in North America

 

At Toyota, we believe an auto company can also be a vehicle for change. That’s why Toyota is proud to partner with nonprofit organizations across the U.S. in the local communities where we live and work. Toyota and affiliates support programs in key areas:

 

Primary
  • Education – Special consideration is given to STEM programs as we continue to develop our future workforce.
  • Inclusive Mobility – Connecting people to opportunities by developing inclusive mobility solutions.
  • Community Resilience – Building resilience by investing in needs required to thrive, specifically relating to environmental sustainability and driver/passenger safety.

 

Secondary
  • Health and Human Services
  • Arts and Culture
  • Civic and Community

 

Youth and diversity are key priorities. Toyota also prefers to support program-based requests, but on occasion will support fundraising activities where most of proceeds go directly to the organization.
