Overview
This year marks American Honda Foundation’s (AHF) 25th year of operations. Since 1984, more than $25 million have been awarded to organizations serving approximately 114 million people in virtually every state in the U.S.
AHF was established by American Honda Motor Co., Inc., to commemorate its 25th anniversary in the United States and to show its appreciation of America’s support through the years. It is Honda’s desire that in every community in which it does business society will want Honda to exist.

Special Notice
The American Honda Foundation (AHF) realizes that the current economic crisis is dramatically impacting the nation’s nonprofits by increasing the need for assistance in the community. At the same time, available resources to nonprofit organizations are decreasing. In light of this, AHF has modified its grant proposal range to $20,000 - $60,000 per organization to allow the AHF to support more nonprofits. This is effective for the February 1, 2009 grant deadline and is subject to further change by AHF.
