Toyota Environmental Activities Grant Program 2009

Toyota has begun accepting applications for the 2009 Toyota Environmental Activities Grant Program, which is designed to support environmental revitalization and conservation activities for the purpose of supporting sustainable development.

The themes this year, as last year, are "Global Warming Countermeasures" and "Biodiversity Conservation"—both areas of important environmental activity. Grants will be provided to NPOs and other private non-profit groups (excluding schools) that are promoting practical projects in these areas.

This year's program is only inviting applications for limited-amount, small-scale grants targeting activities in Japan. Ongoing general grants awarded between 2006 and 2008 will continue to be provided.

The program was established in commemoration of Toyota's receipt of the Global 500 Award in 1999 from the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and has been carried out every year since 2000 as part of the company's environmental social contribution activities.

Applications must arrive by May 29, 2009
