All applications for funding must be received by October 31, 2024, at 11:59 PM (Pacific Time), with awards to be announced in spring 2025.

Honda and the Honda USA Foundation will award requests for program support within a $25,000 to $100,000 range. Each request will be evaluated based on its own merit, taking into consideration community needs and available funding. More details about the specific eligibility requirements and available funding opportunities are outlined within the award criteria.

Honda Plants 85,000 Trees Near Its Ohio Operations
Honda planted 85,000 trees in Union County, Ohio as part of the company’s latest effort to enhance biodiversity and reduce its environmental footprint. The 85,000 trees planted on 100 acres of Honda-owned land along the Flat Branch Creek near its Marysville Auto Plant, East Liberty Auto Plant and Auto Development Center will increase the company’s carbon sequestration efforts, improve existing riparian buffers, and serve as home for a diverse group of insects, animals, birds and plants. The native trees will be known as the “Honda Power of Dreams Forest.”
As part of this work, Honda partnered with a local farmer to implement USDA conservation agricultural practices that will help strengthen water quality in the Flat Branch Creek. Honda also is working with a neighboring farm to develop a tree-based system focused on maple trees for syrup production. This not only creates another sustainable local source of maple syrup but also aligns with the farm’s existing agricultural activities and the environmental efforts Honda is promoting. Ultimately, the syrup will be made available for sale at a local farmers market, further strengthening local sustainability.
“These trees represent the Power of Dreams of our Honda associates who identified a beneficial way to capture carbon and support Ohio’s water quality goals,” said Larry Geise, executive vice president of Honda Development & Manufacturing of America. “Initiatives like this will not only help Honda reach our goal to be carbon neutral by 2050 but will also help enhance the local ecosystem and support local farms.”
Honda recently held a celebratory event at its Auto Development Center with associates and state officials where they had the opportunity to plant a tree to symbolize the effort to enhance biodiversity and carbon capture in the area.

“We are delighted that Honda continues its robust partnership with Thurgood Marshall College Fund,” said Dr. Harry L. Williams, president and CEO, Thurgood Marshall College Fund. By providing scholarships to Historically Black Colleges and Universities students engaged in band or music endeavors, Honda demonstrates an exceptional commitment to both TMCF and the wider HBCU community. Their continuous support of programs that empower HBCU students for future achievements and enhance their economic opportunities is remarkable. We are grateful to Honda for our ongoing and life-changing partnership.”
“HBCU band programs are a fundamental part of the community’s culture, and student participants dedicate immense time and effort to demonstrating unique blends of musicianship and choreography, all while continuing to challenge themselves academically,” said Yvette Hunsicker, vice president of Corporate Social Responsibility and Inclusion & Diversity at American Honda. “Honda is proud to provide these deserving students with an opportunity to advance their educational pursuits.”
