Efforts seek to improve water use efficiency,
enrich outdoor environments and drive sustainable agriculture in
communities and among rural families in developing countries
Whether in our local communities or in the developing world, we
are all stewards of the water and natural spaces that enrich life.
With a commitment to helping our customers and communities
worldwide enhance the beauty, productivity and sustainability of
the land, The Toro Company is proud to introduce its Land. Water.
Thrive. initiative.
This initiative aims to help improve water use efficiency,
enhance outdoor environments and greenspaces, and educate on
sustainable agricultural practices. Over a two-year period, The
Toro Foundation is contributing up to $1 million in grants to
nonprofits in our global communities with the Greenspace
Enhancement Grant Program. Through the energy and talents of our
people, this new program aims to support organizations in their
efforts to revitalize parks and green spaces, enrich the outdoors
of our neighborhoods and schools, educate on the efficient use of
water, and support sustainable agriculture through community
gardens.
“Impacting lives through the sustainable use of land and water
is the focus of Land. Water. Thrive.,” said Judson McNeil,
president of The Toro Foundation. “The grant program is directed at
conserving and restoring our outdoor environments to ensure
healthier, more vibrant and sustainable communities where our
employees live and work.”
For 2018, the Greenspace Enhancement Grant Program will support
organizations in the following cities worldwide:
- Beatrice, Nebraska
- Bloomington, Minnesota
- El Paso, Texas
- Iron Mountain, Michigan
- Riverside, California
- Sanford, Florida
- Shakopee, Minnesota
- Windom, Minnesota
- Xiamen City, China
- Ploiesti, Romania
- Spellbrook, United Kingdom
Locations included in the 2019 grant program will be announced
at a later date.

Applications are due by September 1, 2018.
Outside of our local communities, and as part of our Land.
Water. Thrive. initiative, we look to further expand our efforts to
enrich the lives of rural families in developing countries. Here,
we will focus on enabling smallholder farmers to enhance the
productivity of the land and drive sustainable solutions to ensure
a more food-secure future. As a leader in water-efficient drip
irrigation for the agricultural market, we will work to equip
low-income farmers with improved irrigation technologies to better
manage their limited water resources, promote sustainable
agricultural practices, improve crop yields, and build thriving
communities.
