Brief Description:
Through a program of responsible investment in organizations meeting the needs of American society in the areas of youth and scientific education, the American Honda Foundation strives to assist in creating lasting benefits for society.
The Foundation makes grants to worthy non-profit causes, programs and organizations that directly benefit the people of the United States in the areas of youth education and scientific education.
The Foundation reflects the basic tenets, beliefs and philosophies of the Honda companies, which are characterized by the following qualities: imaginative, creative, youthful, forward-thinking, scientific, humanistic, and innovative. The Foundation engages in grantmaking that is consistent with these characteristics.
Award Amount:
AHF has modified its grant proposal range from $20,000 to $60,000 per organization to allow the AHF to support more nonprofits. This is effective for the February 1, 2009 grant deadline and until further notice.
It is inconsistent with the policy and philosophy of the American Honda Foundation to pay any
indirect costs associated with the administration of a monetary grant made to a project or program conducted upon the campus of a college or university. Therefore, when formulating a grant proposal to the Foundation, all junior colleges, colleges, universities, trade and vocational schools should be aware of this policy to allow no indirect costs.

Organizations working in the areas of youth and scientific education may be eligible for grants from the American Honda Foundation. Projects should have a broad national focus.
