    Community

    Nissan knows the communities are vital to the well-being of its team members. Through the Nissan Foundation and Nissan Neighbors, Nissan supports local non-profits as they fulfill their missions to serve others and promote greater understanding.

    Nissan Foundation Surpasses $17.7M in Grants to Nonprofit Organizations

    Celebrating the power of identity, inclusion and belonging, the Nissan Foundation continues its commitment to community and cultural connection with grants to 37 nonprofits across the U.S. this year. This funding reflects the Foundation’s enduring mission: to honor in equal measure that which makes us different and also what brings us together.

    With this year’s contributions, the Nissan Foundation reaches a milestone of $17.7 million in grants since its founding in 1992. The program has impacted millions across the country, helping to build more spaces of acceptance and support programming rooted in education, representation and shared humanity.

    Nissan Neighbors

    Nissan Neighbors is a grant program that supports Nissan’s vision of a cleaner, safer, more inclusive world by dedicating resources to enriching communities where employees live and work. Its priorities are:

    • Education: youth education specific to STEM/STEAM; literacy; career and technical education (CTE); experiential learning; and safe driving initiatives.
    • Humanitarian services: preservation and enhancement of natural resources and green spaces; waste reduction; and sustainability education.
    • Environmental sustainability: fighting food insecurity; housing solutions (ex. new home development and affordability); military veteran support programs; and disaster prevention, relief, and recovery.

    Workforce Development & Education

     

    Many of Nissan’s team members joined without prior automotive production expertise. They received training — and the opportunity to build careers that support their families and contribute to their communities.
