Ever since, the Foundation has engaged in activities guided by the principles of "foresight, citizen participation, and internationality" in the hope of contributing toward an increase in human happiness and the development of society. In a world that is undergoing rapid change, the Toyota Foundation is determined to move forward by pursuing its founding ideals with renewed vigor.

Objectives of the Toyota Foundation

Supporting One Another in Life and Living

We aspire toward the realization of a society in which each individual can live with dignity and hope. To this end, we support efforts to activate the wisdom found in everyday life and to build a good society through mutual support and collaboration among neighbors.

Searching for the Art of Living Better

In today's globalized world, nature is on the verge of crisis, while culture is undergoing a rapid transformation. We wish to contribute to the creation of a beautiful environment and dynamic local culture by nurturing relationships with the people of the world and learning from nature's wisdom, so that everyone can enjoy a compassionate and fulfilling coexistence.

Toward a Fulfilling Future

We support initiatives to enrich the lives and minds of young people, with the aim of fostering the next generation, on whom the future depends. We hope that this will enable the next generation to respect each other's cultures from a broader perspective and to forge a path to the achievement of lasting peace.
