American Honda Foundation Grants in Pennsylvania
What This Grant Funds
The American Honda Foundation supports STEM education, environmental literacy, and workforce development programs for K-12 students and higher education institutions across the United States. The Foundation focuses on programs that reflect Honda's core values of scientific thinking, creativity, and problem-solving. Grants fund curriculum development, instructional equipment, professional development, and hands-on STEM activities including coding and AI literacy.
Who Is Eligible in Pennsylvania
K-12 schools, nonprofit organizations, and accredited universities serving K-12 students in Pennsylvania are eligible. The foundation accepts applications nationally but gives preference to programs with a clear connection to STEM fields, scientific inquiry, and engineering design thinking. Organizations with existing relationships with Honda facilities or dealers may have additional pathways to funding consideration.
Funding Amounts
Grants range from $20,000 to $75,000. The Foundation does not fund overhead-heavy proposals. Applications should show that the majority of funds go directly to student-facing program activities and materials.
How Forward Education Products Qualify
Forward Education's coding and physical computing curriculum connects directly to Honda Foundation priorities around STEM skills and engineering design. Our micro:bit kits require students to apply engineering design processes to build functioning devices, and our coding curriculum builds systematic thinking skills the Foundation values. MicroChat's AI literacy tools extend this into the emerging technology space. We provide alignment documents connecting our curriculum to STEM learning standards for use in grant applications.
How to Apply and Timeline
The American Honda Foundation accepts applications twice a year, with typical deadlines in February and August. Applications are submitted through the Foundation's online portal. The review process takes approximately six months from submission to award notification. Organizations applying for the first time should thoroughly review the Foundation's funding history and priorities before submitting.
