Bridgestone Americas Trust Fund Grants

Empowering People to Move, Live, Work, and Play

Bridgestone has awarded over $60 million to nonprofit organizations in the United States since 1951, and we are committed to continuing our legacy of giving back by supporting communities around the U.S.

Bridgestone works with grantseekers that offer solutions to keep society moving forward. Strong partners offer a human-centered approach to societal challenges in one or more of the following areas of focus: 

• Mobility – Improving public transportation, reducing congestion and traffic-related accidents, and increasing accessibility to transportation needs. 

• Environment – Promoting biodiversity and environmental conservation. 

• People – Creating a safer society, supporting accessible and inclusive education, and promoting healthier communities. 

There will be three application periods for grantseekers in 2026:

1. January 15 - February 28, 2026. Community Impact Grants. Winners will be announced by March 31, 2026.
2. May 1 - June 15, 2026. Adaptive Sports in Schools. Winners will be announced by July 15, 2026.
