Ford

Our history

Our focus on the freedom of movement helped create the middle class with the $5 wage, 
revolutionized manufacturing with the moving assembly line and got the whole
world moving with the first vehicles built for everyone.

Since 1949, the Ford Motor Company Fund (Ford Fund) has worked with nonprofit partners and Ford dealers to provide access to opportunities and resources that help all people reach their full potential. 

The Ford Fund supports Ford’s vision of becoming the world’s most trusted company by investing in programs that support education, promote safe driving, enrich community life and encourage employee volunteering.

Our work in these four areas is rooted in Ford’s long-standing commitment to making a positive impact on society and Henry Ford’s legacy of building strong communities wherever Ford does business.
