At Honda, we believe in the power of helping others. Making a difference matters to us. That’s why, in 1992, we created The Honda Foundation to help fund and empower organisations that are focused on helping others.
The Honda Foundation is funded by contributions from Honda Australia, private donors and 90 Centres across the country. For every new Honda vehicle sold in Australia, the Honda Centre donates $10, Honda Australia donates $20 taking the total donation to $30. More than $14 million has so far been donated to hundreds of very worthy causes, including empowering disadvantaged Australians, providing relief for victims of natural disasters and supporting the development of new technologies and research to fight disease.

We understand how difficult it can be to reach out when times get tough.
Our specialist support staff are here to bridge the divide between you and the help you need to provide for yourself and your family.
We are committed to providing relief for individuals or families carrying on farming or primary production businesses who are or have been affected by droughts, floods or natural disasters.
We work with you to provide the personalised and practical assistance you need to help look after your house paddock; recognising that a one-size-fits-all approach doesn’t work for your farm, so why would it work for you or your family?
We understand that reaching out for help can be difficult, but you don’t have to do it on your own. If you need assistance or would like to speak with someone directly, you can call us on 1300 327 624. We’re here to listen and support you.
If you’d prefer to use one of our online forms below, you can take your time. Each form clearly outlines the information needed to submit your request and help you access the assistance that’s available to you. Please note, applications will remain open for six months from the date of the disaster.
