Grants 2017
The American Honda Foundation engages in grant making that reflects the basic tenets, beliefs and philosophies of Honda companies, which are characterized by the following qualities: imaginative, creative, youthful, forward-thinking, scientific, humanistic and innovative. We support youth education with a specific focus on the STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) subjects in addition to the environment.
Note: American Honda Foundation’s (AHF) application form is time-consuming to complete. In addition, the odds are steep. Each quarter, AHF receives ~500 applications and funds about 8. Colleges and universities account for fewer than 10% of grantee organizations.
