BLOOMINGTON, Minn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 13, 2014--
On the verge of celebrating its 100th anniversary, The Toro Company has
long been committed to helping customers around the world care for their
outdoor environments. At the same time, Toro has built a legacy of
giving back to the communities where employees live and work. As Toro
celebrates ‘A Century of Innovation’ and ‘A Legacy of Caring,’ the
company is proud to continue its support of communities with the launch
of a Legacy Grant Program and Annual Product Donation Program.
The centennial Legacy Grant Program supports non-profit
organizations in their efforts to beautify and preserve outdoor
environments and enhance green spaces at home, work and play. Grants
will also be made to organizations whose projects encourage and educate
the public about the efficient use of water. The objective of the Legacy
Grant Program is to provide funding for projects in these focus
areas that will serve the community for years to come.
The centennial Annual Product Donation Program will continue to
support organizations with equipment and irrigation donations that
assist in maintaining their facilities and achieving impact in their
communities, such as beautification of their outdoor landscapes or
providing job-skills training.
In an effort for more effective collaboration with non-profits, Toro has
launched its first electronic application form for both grant programs.
The online application, and additional information, can be found on www.toro.com/community.
Applications for both grant programs will be accepted through March 31,
2014, and are available to non-profit organizations located within 30
miles of a Toro community. The qualifying list of Toro communities
