Award Criteria

Honda and the Honda USA Foundation will accept requests for funding opportunities within a $25,000 to $100,000 range and will evaluate each request based on its own merit. Honda and the Honda USA Foundation may counter funding requests proposed by the organization based on community needs and available funding.

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

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.

  • Each fall, a funding cycle with specified pillar award categories will open. Certain Corporate Social Responsibility pillar award categories may not always be open for funding, 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 Eligible

Organizations must be located in the United States and have tax-exempt status under the Internal Revenue Code Section 501(c)(3), or a public school district, private/public elementary and secondary schools as listed by the U.S. Department of Education’s National Center for Education Statistics (NCES).

Organizations must align with Honda and the Honda USA Foundation’s pillar award categories of Education, Environment, Mobility, Traffic Safety and Community. Honda and the Honda USA Foundation are committed to transparency and will ensure that all applicants receive an equal opportunity for funding and favoritism is not awarded to those applicants with ties to Honda.
