The Nissan Foundation today named One To World as a 2024 grant recipient. The Nissan Foundation grant will help fund our unique cultural programming, including enrichment programs for international students attending universities in the New York area and our flagship Global Classroom program, which brings international students into local K-12 classrooms to teach them about the world!
The Nissan Foundation is awarding a total of $1.2 million in grants to 44 nonprofit organizations for its 2024 grant cycle. The nonprofit recipients are in Atlanta, Central Mississippi, Dallas/Ft. Worth, Middle Tennessee, New York City/New Jersey, Southeast Michigan, and Southern California – all locations where Nissan has an operational presence.
“We’re honored to support the work of One To World,” said Chandra Vasser President of the Nissan Foundation and Nissan’s first Chief Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Officer. “The Nissan Foundation is about building community by valuing diversity, and One To World’s cultural programming brings that mission to life.”
In the 32 years since, the Nissan Foundation has awarded nearly $17 million to more than 150 nonprofit organizations to support innovative programs that break down societal barriers and build inclusive communities through education and outreach. Grant recipients promote cultural diversity across a variety of arts, education, social and public programs in seven U.S. communities where Nissan operates.
One To World has been fortunate to receive grant awards from the Nissan Foundation over the course of many years. They have been a key supporter of ours, and we are incredibly grateful for their renewed commitment to our valuable work.
The Nissan Foundation was created in 1992 as a thoughtful response to civil unrest that occurred near Nissan North America’s then U.S. sales and marketing operations in Southern California following the Rodney King trial verdict. Nissan established a $5 million endowment to promote cultural diversity.
Nissan Foundation grants are awarded annually. Nonprofit organizations working to bring diverse cultural perspectives, experiences and voices to communities across the country may be eligible to apply for a Nissan Foundation grant.
