Ford Foundation

The Ford Foundation is a global, grant-making philanthropic foundation that funds and supports organizations and initiatives to challenge inequality and advance social justice. In addition to traditional grantmaking, the foundation deploys mission-related and program-related investments and impact-oriented capital (including investments through private equity and venture capital) to support inclusive economic and social outcomes across the United States and the Global South. Its work focuses on strengthening democratic values, reducing poverty and injustice, advancing human rights, and promoting equitable access to resources and opportunity.
