On April 5, Toyota pledged three Toyota Driving Solutions grants of $50,000 each for women selected as "Mothers of Invention" at the annual Women in the World Summit hosted in New York's Lincoln Center. The summit rewards innovation, creativity and courage of women; Toyota's $150,000 in grants were awarded to those who are addressing some of the most pressing global issues with ingenuity, according to Toyota's press release.

"Toyota is proud to demonstrate its ongoing commitment to women by honoring the Mothers of Invention - courageous and innovative leaders who are making a difference in their communities and the world," said Julie Hamp, chief communications officer for Toyota in North America.

We love that Toyota is showing such great support towards empowering women in the world who are making a difference. We have some wonderful female employees at 802 Toyota who make a difference for us too :)
