The Honda USA Foundation supports society in the areas of Education, Environment, Mobility and Traffic Safety by strategically collaborating with like-minded organizations to drive sustainable change in marginalized communities throughout the nation where Honda operations are located.

Honda Education Pillar Award

As Honda strives to cultivate a future-ready workforce, we are seeking opportunities to partner with organizations that provide education and workforce pipeline initiatives across a wide range of industry-relevant skills, including those focused on design, engineering, production, information technology (IT), and more. 

Our overarching goal is to inspire the next generation, fostering a resilient and innovative workforce that will drive our future success and contribute to economic prosperity within our communities where we live and work.

Applications for programs related to a future-ready workforce may include but not limited to:

• In-person, hands-on, or virtual science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education and training programs

• Experiential learning, immersion programs and/or certifications

• Workforce pipeline and/or pathway programs

• Adult re-entry programs

Honda Environment Pillar Award

Honda is taking bold action to achieve our global goal of zero environmental impact by 2050. Central to our Triple Action to Zero approach are the following three targeted areas: carbon neutrality, clean energy, and resource circularity. 

Through education, awareness, and infrastructure programs, we are seeking to support community organizations that are dedicated to fostering a healthy planet, which will play a crucial role in helping us achieve our mission of building a sustainable future for all.

Applications for education, awareness, and infrastructure programs may include but are not limited to:

• Carbon Neutrality through decarbonization (e.g., energy efficiency and/or upgrades, reforestation/tree planting, and greenspace)

• Clean Energy (e.g., onsite solar and/or wind installation)

• Resource Circularity (e.g., recycling, repurposing, composting, food recovery, water reduction, and zero waste)

Honda Mobility Pillar Award

The Honda USA Foundation envisions a world where each person is empowered to dream and fulfill their own life’s potential. We seek to fund programs that remove barriers and expand access and opportunities for individuals with disabilities, ensuring that the joy and freedom of mobility can be experienced by all.

Applications for education, awareness, and infrastructure programs may include but not limited to:

• Therapeutic or adaptive programs

• Comprehensive care programs

• Mobility modifications, accommodations, and assistive technology

Honda Traffic Safety Pillar Award

At Honda, we are committed to achieving zero traffic collision fatalities by 2050. To achieve this, we collaborate with organizations that share our human-centered safety approach. 

Through programs that promote safe driving practices, awareness, and education both on and off the road, we extend our support to bicycle, automobile, motorcycle, motorsport, and pedestrian safety. This commitment reflects our unwavering dedication to ensuring safety for everyone.

Applications for human-centered education, awareness, and infrastructure safety programs may include, but are not limited to:

• Safety education and training (e.g., behind the wheel, train the trainer, safety installation, and product distribution of items like car seats, helmets, or seatbelt cover/guards.)

• Safety awareness (e.g., PSAs, community outreach, distracted driving, and impaired driving)

• Safety infrastructure (e.g., repurposing railways/subway/spaces for pedestrian and/or alternate modes of transportation)
