Good neighbors step up when their communities need them most and throughout its 75-year history, Ford Philanthropy’s commitment to strengthening communities and building a better world has never wavered – even through the toughest of times.

This month marks a significant milestone: Ford Philanthropy is celebrating 75 years of strengthening communities and helping build a better world.

Nearly 1,800 Ford Finance team members from around the world came together for the first Global Finance Community Service Day.

As we celebrate 75 years of Ford Philanthropy, Global Caring Month highlights Ford's legacy of caring and partnering with communities around the world to move people forward and upward.

This past year, the Future Role Models program connected 1,480 female university students with tech leaders, offering a free, 9-week training that helped them emerge as well-rounded future leaders.

This year, the Ford Philanthropy Fellowship supported 47 passionate entrepreneurs, who are helping transform communities across the U.S., Germany, Mexico, China, Romania, South Africa, and the United Kingdom.

"We served Bulgogi, a Korean barbecue dish, and his face just lit up," said Chef Teresa from Dare to Care Food Bank in Louisville.

Earlier this year, Ford Philanthropy and its international grantmaking partner GlobalGiving, announced a £1 million investment to support Halewood and the wider Liverpool City region.

At Ford Philanthropy, we believe in the power of innovative thinking to drive meaningful change in our communities.
