Toyota Environmental Grant Program
Deadline: June 20, 2008
Toyota Motor Corporation is accepting applications for this year's Toyota Environmental Activities Grant Program, which is designed to support environmental revitalization and conservation activities, both in Japan and overseas, for the purpose of sustainable development. In total, approximately $2 million in grants will be awarded for 2008.
The themes this year are "Global Warming Countermeasures" and "Biodiversity Conservation." Grants will be provided to NPOs (excluding schools) and other private nonprofit groups that are promoting practical projects in these areas.
There are two categories of grant under the program:
1) General Grants- There is no restriction regarding project implementation site(s) or limit on the grant amount per project. This grant targets projects aimed at environmental education activities and hands-on learning (or creating and providing the opportunities for such activities), as well as projects aimed at implementing experiment-based environmental technology at the community level.
2) Small-scale Grants - Projects should be implemented in Japan, with the maximum grant amount of two million yen per project. This grant targets practical, community-based grassroots activities aimed at protecting the local environment.
