Ford Motor Company's impact goes beyond its legendary vehicles like the Mustang or innovative EVs like the Lightning. For 75 years, Ford has played a significant role in supporting communities through philanthropy.
75 Years of Making a Difference
Henry Ford II started Ford Philanthropy in 1949, originally called the Ford Motor Company Fund. The organization's mission has always been to uplift communities where Ford operates.
From the early days of contributing to hospitals and local projects, such as Detroit's Civic Center, to today's global outreach, Ford Philanthropy has donated over $2.3 billion worldwide, spanning over 34 countries. Their initiatives cover everything from healthcare to education, helping people improve their quality of life.
Mary Culler, president of Ford Philanthropy, shared, “As we celebrate 75 years of impact, we remain deeply committed to leveraging Ford's unique capabilities and expertise.”
