Toyota Alabama announced a Toyota USA Foundation grant of up to $4.2 million for Huntsville City Schools. The funding is part of the Driving Possibilities initiative, supported by Toyota USA Foundation, Toyota Motor North America, and Toyota Financial Services.
The program expands access to STEM education and career pathways. Combined with previous commitments, Toyota has invested nearly $11 million in Huntsville schools through Driving Possibilities.
Toyota Alabama President Marc Perry said the initiative is about preparing students for future opportunities. “Engaging students early nurtures curiosity and equips them with essential skills to support their academic journey and prepare them for STEM careers,” Perry said.
Working with Huntsville City Schools and the Huntsville/Madison County Chamber Foundation, the new grant will fund:
A district-wide STEM coordinator.
STEM coaches in six elementary and two middle schools.
Care Closets in 10 schools, providing clothing, supplies, toiletries, and snacks through a partnership with Caring Link.
Monthly parent training sessions led by local nonprofit Second Mile.
Greenpower USA cars for 10 schools, giving students manufacturing and project management experience.
Huntsville City Schools Superintendent Dr. Clarence Sutton said the collaboration with Toyota continues to expand STEM opportunities. “Together, we remain committed to customized learning experiences that foster academic achievement and personal growth,” Sutton said.
Toyota previously funded the INDTECH program at Huntsville City Schools Center for Technology, which creates a pathway into manufacturing careers. Driving Possibilities also supports professional development for teachers through the New Teacher Center.
Ana Meade, Toyota’s vice president of sustainable development, said the company’s goal is to expand opportunities. “We believe every student should have access to opportunities and a clear path to high-growth careers, regardless of their background,” Meade said.
