The Toyota Foundation currently operates six open call programs and non-open call initiative programs. In the open call programs, in accordance with its founding principles, the Foundation focuses on conducting grant activities aimed at "furthering the happiness of people." These grants prioritize envisioning the ideal "connections" and "interactions" among people to overcome social issues both domestically and internationally. Additionally, the Foundation emphasizes grants that focus on the appropriate societal implementation of new industrial technologies such as IT, to concretely realize these ideals. In addition we call for proposals for the 50th anniversary grant program for this fiscal year.
