Honda and the Honda USA Foundation will accept requests for program support within a $25,000 to $100,000 range. Each request will be evaluated based on its own merit, taking into consideration community needs and available funding.

Please review the funding opportunities available from both Honda and the Honda USA Foundation.

Program Funding Eligibility Criteria

Honda and the Honda USA Foundation provide support based on the following criteria. Please review all eligibility criteria before applying for funding.

Organizations may apply for more than one pillar award category from either Honda or the Honda USA Foundation. However, an organization cannot apply for both Honda and Honda USA Foundation funding for the same program.

• Year-over-year certain CSR pillar awards may not always be open for funding, subject to change and at times, Honda may provide invitation-only funding opportunities to key community partners.
• Approved funding will be distributed in the spring. If additional information is needed, Honda will contact the organization directly.

Organizations must align with Honda and the Honda USA Foundation’s pillar award categories of Education, Environment, Mobility, Traffic Safety and Community.
