The Honda Foundation draws on voluntary contributions from Honda's Australia-wide network of dealers, from Honda Australia itself and from private donors.

Established in 1992, the Foundation has disbursed over $7.5 million in grants to a wide range of applicants from the Australian community.

The Honda Foundation operates independently and aims to engender goodwill for the benefit of Australian communities. Operating as a charitable trust, The Honda Foundation provides financial assistance to:

• Deserving charities - approved bodies that focus their activities on the disadvantaged, disabled or those suffering from long-term, life threatening illnesses
• Approved humanitarian bodies
• Approved bodies who provide ad-hoc relief to victims of natural disasters
• Approved bodies who promote inventions and the development of new technology
• Approved bodies who promote the development and preservation of Australian culture.
