Ford Foundation Unlocks $1 Billion to Drive Global Social Justice and Disrupt Inequality

The Ford Foundation is proud and excited to announce a monumental funding achievement—raising $1,000,000,000 to further our mission of disrupting inequality in all its forms. This milestone not only underscores the global confidence in our vision but also lays a robust financial foundation to deepen our commitment to social justice. For over eighty years, the Ford Foundation has been dedicated to reducing poverty and injustice, strengthening democratic values, and promoting international cooperation. With support from this significant funding round, we will expand our reach to more communities around the world, ensuring that every individual has the opportunity to fully exercise their human rights and participate in the decisions that shape their lives. At the heart of our mission is the unwavering belief in the inherent dignity of all people. With offices in 11 regions and active programs in over 50 countries, the Ford Foundation continuously works to empower communities and disrupt the systemic barriers that exclude millions from economic, political, and social spheres. The new funds will be strategically deployed to support initiatives aimed at equitable growth, knowledge sharing, and the redistribution of wealth and resources. In an era marked by significant social and economic challenges, this funding will enable us to further foster environments where inclusive decision-making and mutual advancement are the norm. As we embark on this new chapter, we remain steadfast in our commitment to catalyze lasting change, reinforce democratic participation, and ensure that every person's potential can be fully realized. We thank our partners, donors, and communities for their unwavering support—together, we are building a world defined by equality, justice, and opportunity for all.
