Toyota's committed to helping our communities. We know the best way to do that is through a combination of hours volunteered, dollars donated, and knowledge shared.
We're about more than cars—we're a mobility company, creating better ways to move people, whether across town or across a room. We are working to connect people to educational opportunities and jobs, and improving access to critical goods and services.
Cities that have developed rapidly face a number of transportation challenges. The Toyota Mobility Foundation (TMF) is a great way for Toyota to use our technological and environmental expertise to help organizations address urban transportation challenges and expand personal mobility.

Our years of manufacturing experience have taught us that small improvements can make a big difference—and we've learned that this approach can help other organizations too. So, for more than 25 years, we have shared our know-how with other manufacturers, nonprofits and community organizations to help them find better ways of doing their day-to-day work. Sharing our ideas this way helps our partners stay competitive and preserve jobs or support more people in need — and that benefits us all.
