Toyota: back-to-school charities

For the second consecutive year, Toyota supported the Kids In Need Foundation (KINF) for the “Big Summer Giveback”, a nationwide operation that offered Toyota customers the opportunity to donate $3 to the “Supply a Student” program of KINF, during their interview meeting in August 2023.

The program helps provide school supplies to children in underfunded elementary schools across the United States. In total, no less than 429 Toyota dealerships gathered over $600,000, and 21 of those dealers have each donated at least $10,000. This action made it possible to reach more than 24,000 pupils in primary school : dealers will hand-deliver their backpacks full of school supplies to students at an elementary school in their city.

“Toyota is pleased to announce our continued support of KINF for the second year of our Big Summer Giveback campaign”said Mark Nazario, Vice President Customer Experience and Loyalty at Toyota Motor North America: “Together, we are committed to empowering students in underfunded schools nationwide, ensuring that every child receives an equal opportunity to thrive in their classroom. »
