Toyota’s national corporate giving program supports organizations focused on three main areas: the environment, education and vehicle safety. We also have a strong commitment to strengthening opportunities for diverse and underserved populations, helping during times of disaster, and supporting organizations that meet the needs of local communities across the U.S. This page describes the guidelines for our national corporate giving program. To see how we’re engaging and supporting Texas communities, click here.

The Toyota USA Foundation is a separate giving program that funds education programs for K-12 in math, science and education. Please send inquiries to Toyota.USA.Foundation@toyota.com. We regret that we are unable to respond to every inquiry or support every request.
