Honda USA Foundation Funding

The Honda USA Foundation provides funding aimed at enhancing mobility and access for individuals in marginalized communities across the United States. The foundation focuses on strategic collaborations with organizations that share a commitment to driving sustainable change. The primary goal is to empower individuals, particularly those with disabilities, by removing barriers and expanding opportunities for mobility. The foundation envisions a society where everyone can experience the joy and freedom of mobility, which is reflected in their funding priorities. The purpose of the Honda USA Foundation's funding is to support programs that facilitate mobility for individuals with disabilities. This includes initiatives that promote education, awareness, and infrastructure improvements. The foundation is particularly interested in funding therapeutic or adaptive programs, comprehensive care programs, and projects that involve mobility modifications, accommodations, and assistive technology. By focusing on these areas, the foundation aims to create a more inclusive environment for all individuals. Eligible applicants for the Honda USA Foundation funding include 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations and accredited K-12 schools recognized by the U.S. Department of Education’s National Center for Education Statistics. The foundation prioritizes projects that align with its mission of enhancing mobility and access for individuals with disabilities. Organizations that are committed to making a positive impact in their communities are encouraged to apply. The application process requires potential applicants to complete an Eligibility Quiz to determine their suitability for funding. Each organization must take the quiz for every application they intend to submit. If deemed eligible, applicants will be prompted to register on the grants management platform, CyberGrants, where they can access the application forms. The foundation does not require a matching contribution for the grants. Evaluation criteria for the applications will focus on the alignment of proposed projects with the foundation's goals, the potential impact on the target community, and the feasibility of the project plan.
