The Toyota U.S.A. Foundation has a new leader. Longtime Toyota veteran and community activist Michael Rouse, who currently serves as vice president of diversity, philanthropy and community affairs is now president of the Foundation. Rouse assumes this new role in addition to his current responsibilities.
The Toyota U.S.A. Foundation was established in 1987 in celebration of Toyota’s 30th anniversary in the United States. Currently endowed at over $100 million the Toyota U.S.A. Foundation has contributed over $52 million in support of K-12 math, science and environmental science academic education programs.
“Michael brings a fresh perspective to the foundation with vast philanthropic experience,” said Latondra Newton, chief corporate social responsibility officer of Toyota North America. “His valuable insight will enhance Toyota’s impact in the communities it serves and further establish Toyota as a leading contributor to society.”
