Philanthropic Initiatives in
North/Central America
Since 1992, Honda R&D Americas has supported Community Care Train of Union County, a non-profit organization that provides food and toys to families in need during the holiday season. In recent years, Honda R&D Americas and its affiliates have been the organization's largest supporter in the Union County area, purchasing gifts for an average of 300 children each year.
Every year since 2006, Honda R&D Americas, Inc. has provided a financial contribution of $10,000 or more to the Detroit Institute of Ophthalmology. The Institute uses these funds to help the visually impaired maintain their independence through a wide variety of initiatives.
Honda has established three foundations in North America: the American Honda Foundation, the Honda Canada Foundation and the Honda of America Manufacturing Foundation (HAM Foundation). In 2009 these foundations donated more than US$1.6 million to various nonprofit organizations to support education programs and initiatives for youth. more
