FORD FOUNDATION ANNOUNCES NEW GRANTMAKING STRATEGIES

Luis A. Ubiñas, president of Ford Foundation, announced the results of Ford’s year-long evaluation and planning process today.

“A year ago, we set out to ensure that the Ford Foundation’s grant making was addressing the challenges of the next generation. Our aim was to produce a set of strategies that look forward but that also draw upon Ford’s more than 50 years of experience on the frontlines of social change around the world, fighting for social justice and focused on the poorest and most marginalized among us.

We dedicated ourselves to a collaborative process, listening carefully to leaders and partners in every sector, from nonprofits and academia to business and government. I thank all of you—more than 2,000 individuals and institutions in all the regions in which we work—whose thoughtful input helped us make this a broadly informed process.”
