Grant Description

The Nissan Foundation offers annual grants to nonprofit organizations that aim to promote respect and understanding of cultural diversity. Established in 1992 in response to civil unrest, the Foundation has since awarded over $17 million to more than 150 nonprofits. Its primary mission is to "build community by valuing cultural diversity." Grant funding is available for projects taking place between July 1, 2025, and June 30, 2026, and the grant cycle begins in October with the submission of letters of intent​​. Organizations eligible for Nissan Foundation grants must have 501(c)(3) nonprofit status, have been operational for at least three years, and demonstrate a history of engagement with the populations they serve. Applicants should reflect an understanding of the Foundation's mission and serve communities near Nissan's operational locations, such as Southern California, Middle Tennessee, Central Mississippi, and other specified regions​​. The Foundation prioritizes projects that align with its mission of valuing cultural diversity. However, it does not fund activities related to disease advocacy, research, political or religious endorsements, fundraising events, capital investments, scholarships, travel experiences, or workplace diversity programs, among others​​. To apply, organizations must ensure their projects meet the Foundation's criteria, emphasizing community-building and cultural diversity. Additionally, detailed project design and goals should align with the Foundation's mission to be considered for funding​​. Overall, this grant opportunity is well-suited for nonprofit organizations with a strong track record and a focus on fostering cultural understanding in communities where Nissan operates. Interested applicants should carefully review the guidelines and timelines to ensure eligibility and successful submission​​.
