How Ford Supports Communities
The # team is proud to be a part of the Ford family. Ford doesn’t just craft some of the best vehicles in the world; the brand is also committed to making the world a better place through initiatives, partnerships, sustainability, and charity. We want to highlight some of the amazing things Ford does to improve our community, country, and global society.
Essential Services
Ford starts with essential services by partnering with local community organizations and nonprofit organizations to expand access to food, healthcare, transportation, and more. The brand participates in disaster relief to help communities affected by natural disasters when they need it most. Ford also works to deliver food and mobile healthcare to those who need them most. To achieve this, Ford partners with the American Red Cross, Feeding America, Team Rubicon, and the United Way.
Education
By partnering with Tech Force Foundation, Focus: Hope, Henry Ford Learning Institute, and National Urban League, Ford supports education. The goal for Ford is to prepare the next generation for innovation in mobility, technology, and trades. Ford supplies scholarships, workforce training, and career readiness to help students pursue careers in STEM fields, automotive, and more.
Entrepreneurship
With a focus on entrepreneurship, Ford aims to remove the systematic barriers that keep small business owners from creating thriving small businesses. Ford offers access to capital, mentorship, and support for mobility startups to diversify the market and facilitate growth for women, minorities, and other underrepresented groups of small business owners.
Mobility
As a vehicle manufacturer, one of the best ways for Ford to uplift communities is through transportation, which connects people and resources. A lack of transportation can make education, food, health care, and work opportunities harder to obtain. Ford partners with Disabled American Veterans, Feonix, Feeding American, and Vision to Learn with mobility solutions to solve these problems and provide support.
Ford isn’t the only one taking care of the community. The # team loves to partner with local charities and events to support our clients, friends, and neighbors. If you want to learn more about our community initiatives or join the # family, contact us today.
