    Summary

    Ford Motor Company Fund is a not-for-profit corporation organized in 1949. Made possible by Ford Motor Company profits, Ford Motor Company Fund and Community Services supports initiatives and institutions that enhance and improve opportunities for those who live in the communities where Ford Motor Company operates.


    Ford Motor Company Fund supports programming and initiatives that address meeting basic needs, providing access to essential services, opening pathways to educational opportunities that prepare people for high-quality jobs and using the power of mobility to enhance access.


    They seek to build partnerships with organizations that have a well-defined sense of purpose, a demonstrated commitment to maximizing available resources, and a reputation for meeting objectives and delivering quality programs and services. They place priority on the support and development of organizations that promote diversity and inclusion.


    They specifically highlight three impact areas which they support:

    1. Essential Services: They work on the ground with nonprofits and local community leaders to co-create solutions that help address economic disparities and are responsive to unique community needs in initiatives like the Ford Resource and Engagement Centers, mobile dentistry units, and disaster response centers.
    2. Education for the Future of Work: They build partnerships and programming help reach the next generation of leaders from under-resourced communities to provide access to training, financial resources and the pathways to education needed for career advancement in the new economy in initiatives like an IT training and certification program (Ford Enter), mentoring and aid programs at Spelman College, and technical training programs (TechForce).
    3. Entrepreneurship: They work to connect young people and innovators from marginalized communities with access to capital, mentorship and training — to diversify the pipeline of entrepreneurs and create mobile businesses that expand access to essential goods and services in initiatives like their women-owned business program, Herimpact, university student entrepreneurs overseas, and creators working to solve urban mobility issues.
