Our belief in human rights and inherent human dignity is coded into our DNA. From racial justice to disability rights, we remain unwavering in our commitment to protecting democratic values, fundamental freedoms, and inclusive economies that empower people to shape their own futures.
Everyone deserves a voice in shaping the rules and tools with which to build better lives and stronger communities.

As we continue to mark nine decades of challenging inequality this year, we're reflecting on our mission, and where we started.
Ford’s work has long focused on improving our communities at the local level in the United States and worldwide.
At the core of our mission is listening to and learning from our grantees to ground these efforts.
Ford has evolved since the early days, as you can see in this photo from our original office in Dearborn, Michigan, 1946. But 90 years has given us the experience to understand better how we can put those founding principles, like safeguarding democracy, into action.
Keep following #FordFoundation90 as we share stories throughout the year about our impact, history, and current work to strengthen democracy and justice.

From generosity to stewardship: Indian American philanthropy is poised for big, bold commitments.
A recent report by The Bridgespan Group, in partnership with the Ford Foundation, draws on conversations with more than 60 Indian American donors, nonprofit leaders, and philanthropy advisors. What unites their philanthropy is that they see themselves as a bridge between the country they come from and the country they call home. Rooted in values, driven by a community spirit, and sensitive to the aspirations of the next generation, the report offers new possibilities and a bold imagination for the future of diaspora philanthropy everywhere in the world.

“We are citizens — with a voice, with a vote and with mutual obligations to our neighbors and our children,” writes our president, @heatherkgerken, in Deseret Magazine. (@deseretnews)
This U.S. election season, she reflects on how Americans can actively participate in their communities from learning about the issues, checking potentially false information before clicking “like” or “share,” volunteering at the polls, and encouraging others to respect election officials as they carry out a critical, difficult job.
