Yamaha Strengthens Local Communities Through Nonprofit and STEM Education Grants

Sep/30/2025

 For Yamaha Motor Manufacturing Corporation of America (YMMC), building world-class products is only part of the story. Just as important is building stronger communities right here at home.


That commitment is at the heart of the YMMC Community Grant Program, which supports 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations serving individuals and families in Coweta, Fayette, Carroll, Meriwether, Troup, and South Fulton counties. Each quarter, YMMC reviews applications from local nonprofits, providing funding for programs and projects that directly improve lives in the community.


One recent recipient was RiverLife, whose grant award will supply materials to build ramps for seniors and individuals with disabilities. "With Yamaha's support, we'll be able to provide ramps that transform everyday life for seniors and people living with disabilities," said Melanie Reeves of RiverLife. "These ramps mean more than accessibility—they restore dignity, safety, and the ability to remain active members of our community. Yamaha’s generosity ensures that we can keep saying ‘yes’ when a neighbor calls for help, and for that, we are deeply thankful.”


Stories like this are why Yamaha continues to invest in local organizations that create meaningful change. “Supporting our local communities is at the heart of everything we do,” said Kristin Webb, Communications and CSR manager at YMMC. “Through these grants, we are honored to partner with nonprofits and schools that are changing lives every day.”
And this fall, Yamaha is extending its reach into the classroom with a brand-new STEM Education Grant. Focused on Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math, this initiative is designed to give students the tools and opportunities they need to succeed in tomorrow’s workforce. Schools and classrooms may apply now, with applications due by November 30, 2025.


From helping nonprofits remove barriers for vulnerable neighbors to inspiring the next generation of innovators, Yamaha’s goal is simple: to give back to the communities that have supported its growth for decades.

  • Community Grants: Accepted quarterly for 501(c)(3) nonprofits serving Coweta, Fayette, Carroll, Meriwether, South Fulton, and Troup communities.
