In a new case study, Milken Institute Strategic Philanthropy Milken Institute Strategic Philanthropy highlights our ongoing partnership with Team Rubicon to support communities before, during and after crises. As hurricanes, wildfires, and earthquakes grow more frequent and severe, we’ve partnered with Team Rubicon to harness the full resources, expertise, and scale of the Ford enterprise. As Mary Culler, President of Ford Philanthropy said, "Beyond capacity funding through Ford Philanthropy, Ford's focus on mobility means that the partnership is also able to bring vehicles, technology, unique skills, and volunteers to the table to enhance Team Rubicon's incredible work and maximize our impact together." Read the full case study in the link below. #FordPhilanthropy #TeamRubicon #DisasterRelief
Corporate philanthropy executives face immense pressure as they navigate politically sensitive environments and juggle the need for swift action while staying focused on long-term strategic goals. “We need to institutionalize solutions for the hard things so we can focus on the harder things,” said an executive from Google. org. We engaged around 60 corporate philanthropy leaders to document innovative strategies for tackling these challenges. The report features insights from organizations like Mattel, Inc., Google, and Ford Philanthropy.

Ford employees, through the Ford Volunteer Corps, teamed up with Team Rubicon to help veterans in Asheville, North Carolina recover from the devastating effects of Hurricane Helene. “Hearing their stories made us get up a little earlier and work a little harder the next morning,” says Kyle Green, Volunteer Specialist at Ford Philanthropy, who deployed with Team Rubicon last month. After catastrophic flooding hit the region in September, volunteers worked to restore living spaces for 167 veterans at the Veterans Restoration Quarters in Asheville.

This holiday season, we’re teaming up with longtime partner Gleaners Community Food Bank of Southeastern Michigan to provide nutritious meals for our neighbors. Today, we’re DOUBLING donations, which means your contribution will have twice the impact. Normally, each dollar donated provides three meals, but with our match, every dollar is worth six meals. Donate today! https://bit.ly/3UN7LM0
It’s double your donation day! Help us spread joy, one meal at a time! We know that when people have access to nutritious foods, they’re more likely to experience lower levels of stress, anxiety, and depression. When you give to Gleaners, you’re making a real difference in the physical and mental health of neighbors in our community. And today, thanks to Ford Philanthropy, your donation will go twice as far—doubling your impact! https://bit.ly/3UN7LM0

This Veterans Day, we’re honoring Ford and Ford Philanthropy’s century-long partnership with the Disabled American Veterans (DAV), which began in 1922 when Henry Ford organized a cross-country caravan of Model T Fords to bring veterans to the DAV national convention. In August, we celebrated this legacy by providing a grant to support transportation for veterans to medical appointments. Over the years, Ford has donated hundreds of vehicles to DAV, helping provide nearly 20 million rides for veterans in need. We’ve also funded sports rehabilitation and scholarships for young volunteers who support veterans. Today and every day, we’re grateful for our nation’s veterans.
