Ford Foundation
The Ford Foundation is an independent, nonprofit, global philanthropy working to reduce poverty and injustice, strengthen democratic values, promote international cooperation, and advance human achievement. Established in 1936, the foundation partners with visionary leaders, organizations, and movements to address inequality in all its forms.
With offices in the United States and around the world, the Ford Foundation provides grants and resources to support work in areas such as human rights, inclusive economic growth, gender and racial equity, creativity and free expression, and the responsible use of technology. Guided by its mission of social justice, the foundation strives to build a future where everyone has the opportunity to reach their full potential.
In Africa, including Tanzania, the foundation supports initiatives in governance, civic engagement, and inclusive development that empower local communities.
