The Ford Foundation is the one of the largest private foundations in the United States, with an endowment of $16 billion. We use our financial resources to help our grantees achieve the greatest possible impact. But what does that mean, exactly? In this series of videos, we explain how our funding fuels social change.
Learn what makes us different from public charities, where our original endowment came from, and how careful stewardship of our assets will keep our mission alive for years to come.
Though we’re changing the way we think about our grantmaking areas, the basic process will remain more or less the same. Here we explain how proposals are reviewed and how grants are made and monitored.
