MTM Grant Fund Supports Over 150 Local Nonprofits

Mazda Toyota Manufacturing launched the MTM Grant Fund in 2022, with the goal of engaging local nonprofit organizations in Madison, Morgan, and Limestone counties to help further their missions.

MTM focuses on three areas with their Social Innovation Strategy: Economic Impact, Education, and Quality of Life. After launching with awards in June of 2022, MTM held another cycle in Spring of 2023. However, starting that year, the MTM Grant Fund became biannual with a Spring and Fall Grant fund cycle. Each spring, awards are announced in June – and each fall, awards are announced on Giving Tuesday. A committee of MTM team members reads and votes on each grant submission, before inviting finalists to a live “pitch” to talk about their organization and their programs. It has become an amazing way for the MTM team to connect with the organizations who do so much to support and sustain their community.
