SOA is targeted in our approach to community investments and focus mainly on youth-based environmental programs as well as those that enhance the academic learning experience.

SOA seeks partnerships that:

• Benefit youth through grade 12 and one or more of the program areas mentioned below.
• Engage youth and encourage their active participation in the learning experience, including (but not limited to) professional development for educators, programs that enhance math and science education, and literacy improvement and education.
• Promote environmental stewardship and education for youth, including (but not limited to) school gardens and science exploration as it pertains to the environment.

The Subaru of America Foundation board, at its sole discretion, may also fund programs that address the basic needs of local residents. Proposals will not be accepted for basic needs grants at the present time, but will be awarded at the discretion of the board.
