Yamaha Cares primarily focuses on communities where our employees live and work. Within these communities, Yamaha wishes to promote education, arts, health and human services, and recreational and community development while also trying to share the gift of music. Support will not be granted for individuals, political organizations or religious groups. Yamaha receives funding requests far in excess of its resources and must often decline the most worthy projects and programs. Careful consideration is given to each request. Each request that meets our guidlines mentioned above is reviewed by a committee for approval or denial.
