Community and Philanthropy
"Enriching people's lives" – this is the global vision of Nissan and all of its operating companies across the world. Nissan supports its vision by offering customers unparalleled products and services and by improving the quality of life in the communities where it operates.

Over its 30-year history, the Nissan Foundation has awarded nearly $14 million to approximately 150 organizations promoting respect and understanding among cultural and ethnic groups. Nissan Foundation grants are awarded annually to support organizations educating our world on the benefits of a more diverse and inclusive society.
Nissan Neighbors accepts grant applications throughout the year for projects that are community-led initiatives working in three focus areas: education, the environment, and humanitarian aid.
The Nissan Foundation: 30 years of support

The mission of the Nissan Foundation – to build community by valuing culture diversity - is as relevant today as it was in 1992, when it was founded. Formed in response to the civil unrest that occurred near Nissan North America’s then U.S. sales operations in Southern California following the Rodney King trial verdict, the Nissan Foundation has annually awarded hundreds of thousands of dollars to nonprofit organizations that support the Foundation’s mission.
