Ford is known for producing iconic vehicles like the Mustang and innovating electric models like the F-150 Lightning, but its commitment to philanthropy is equally important. Since its inception, Ford has been a driving force in the automotive industry and community development worldwide.
75 Years of Ford Philanthropy
Ford Motor Company's philanthropic efforts began in 1949 with the establishment of the Ford Motor Company Fund by Henry Ford II. Now operating under the name Ford Philanthropy, the organization has dedicated 75 years to supporting global communities through various initiatives.
Ford's early contributions helped build hospitals, fund education, and support local projects like the development of Detroit's Civic Center. Today, with over $2.3 billion in donations across more than 34 countries, Ford's commitment to giving back thrives.
President of Ford Philanthropy, Mary Culler, remarked, “As we celebrate 75 years of impact, we remain deeply committed to leveraging Ford's unique capabilities and expertise.”
