Toshiba America Foundation is a non-profit grant making organization that has been supporting improvements in science and math education through its grants program since 1990. The Foundation was created with support from Toshiba Corporation, Toshiba America Inc. and the six Toshiba America group companies operating in the U.S. Its mission is to contribute to the quality of science and mathematics education in U.S. communities by investing in projects designed by classroom teachers to help improve science and math achievement for students in grades K-12. The Foundation has supported more than 1,500 schools in communities in all fifty states.

Among the educational programs sponsored by TAF, along with Toshiba Corporation, Toshiba America Group Companies, and Toshiba of Canada Ltd., is the Toshiba/NSTA ExploraVision Awards program. Administered by the National Science Teachers Association (NSTA), the ExploraVision program is one of the world's largest K-12 science and technology competitions. Toshiba invests more than $1 million annually in the program, which is now in its 15 th year. ExploraVision has motivated more than 210,000 students in grades K-12 to discover the fun and excitement of science, and to learn how to see its wonders in the world all around them.
