Mazda announces partnership with DonorsChoose to help students find their STEM passions
Mazda North American Operations has partnered with non-profit DonorsChoose for a $250,000 donation, focused on donations to support STEM projects.
The scheme is part of Mazda’s wider Be Moved community project and will start with a $100,000 ‘flash fund’ to support project requests, with a focus on STEM in schools across Chicago, Los Angeles, Atlantic, and Boston-Massachusetts.
Mazda will match an additional up to $150,000 in donations made to STEM-focused teacher projects submitted nationwide on DonorsChoose.
"After seeing the impact and joy these donations brought to students and teachers last season, we were excited to partner with DonorsChoose again this year," explains Brad Audet, Chief Marketing Officer at Mazda North American Operations. "By supporting STEM projects, we're investing in the future of young students and helping them discover their passions and develop the skills they need to innovate and thrive."
"It's an honor to join forces with Mazda again this holiday season to help bring vital resources to classrooms," adds Adam Disler, Senior Vice President, Partnerships at DonorsChoose. "Donations like this create incredible opportunities for teachers to bring cutting-edge projects to life they otherwise would not have access to, empowering students to engage in STEM projects that will inspire their future dreams and careers."
Mazda previously partnered with DonorsChoose in 2024, donating $250,000 to schools across the US.
