mission statement
The Ford Foundation is a resource for innovative people and institutions worldwide. Our goals are to: strengthen democraticvalues, reduce poverty and injustice, promote international cooperation and advance human achievement. This has been ourpurpose for more than half a century. A fundamental challenge facing every society is to create political, economic and socialsystems that promote peace, human welfare and the sustainability of the environment on which life depends. We believe thatthe best way to meet this challenge is to encourage initiatives by those living and working closest to where problems are locat-ed; to promote collaboration among the nonprofit, government and business sectors; and to ensure participation by men andwomen from diverse communities and at all levels of society. In our experience, such activities help build common understand-ing, enhance excellence, enable people to improve their lives and reinforce their commitment to society. The Ford Foundationis one source of support for these activities. We work mainly by making grants or loans that build knowledge and strengthenorganizations and networks. Since our financial resources are modest in comparison to societal needs, we focus on a limitednumber of problem areas and program strategies within our broad goals. Founded in 1936, the foundation operated as a localphilanthropy in the state of Michigan until 1950, when it expanded to become a national and international foundation. Sinceits inception it has been an independent, nonprofit, nongovernmental organization. It has provided more than $13 billion forgrants, projects and loans. These funds derive from an investment portfolio that began with gifts and bequests of Ford MotorCompany stock by Henry and Edsel Ford. The foundation no longer owns Ford Motor Company stock, and its diversified port-folio is managed to provide a perpetual source of support for the foundation’s programs and operations. The trustees of thefoundation set policy and delegate authority to the president and senior staff for the foundation’s grant making and operations.Program officers in the United States, Africa, the Middle East, Asia, Latin America and Russia explore opportunities to pursuethe foundation’s goals, formulate strategies and recommend proposals for funding.

message from the chairkathryn s. fuller
“a resource for innovative people world
in a year in which catastrophe shook millions of people around theworld, the Ford Foundation was one among many philanthropies con-fronting the urgent question of how best to contribute. As we have formore than 50 years, we turned to our mission for guidance.
First in response to the tsunami, then with Hurricane Katrina, andfinally with the Pakistan earthquake, the Ford Foundation’s missionshaped long-term initiatives that will give people not only improvedaccess to basic services but improved access to the decision-makingprocesses that will affect their futures. The millions of dollars in grantswe made in response to last year’s disasters reflect the same fundamen-tal commitment of all our grant making: to create opportunities for people to live freer, better, more prosperous lives. All of us who serveon the board of trustees are proud of the foundation’s ability to movequickly to help meet emergency needs within the framework of ourlong-term mission and vision.
In the past year, Wilma Mankiller completed her term as a memberof the board of trustees and Deval Patrick left the board to return topublic service. The foundation benefited greatly from Wilma’s generousand courageous spirit and her unwavering dedication to those aroundthe world whom societies have marginalized. Deval contributed thebenefit of his broad experience in the worlds of government and busi-ness, as well as a deep personal devotion to the foundation’s values. Iam grateful to them both for the wisdom, integrity and commitmentthey brought to the foundation during their years as trustees.
I am pleased to report that the board also elected two new trusteesin 2005: Irene Y. Hirano, who has headed the Japanese AmericanNational Museum since 1988 and also serves as President and CEO ofthe National Center for the Preservation of Democracy, an affiliate ofthe museum; and J. Clifford Hudson, Chairman of the Board of SonicCorp., one of the largest restaurant companies in the United States,based in Oklahoma City, where he also serves as chair of the city schoolboard. Their experience, professionalism and passion have alreadystrengthened the board.
As trustees of this remarkable institution, we are proud of what hasbeen achieved by our grantees and staff in 2005 in the United Statesand in countries around the world—wherever innovative people arestriving for positive, lasting change.

4 ford foundation annual report 2005
message from the presidentsusan v. berresford
this annual report presents the nearly 2,000 grants made by theFord Foundation in 2005 across many fields of human endeavor. As wide-spread and diverse as our grantees are, they all support the four broadgoals on the cover of this report. For more than 50 years, these goals havebeen at the heart of the foundation’s mission. They embody ambitions ofpeople around the globe, but their fulfillment remains far from universaland their realization will require sustained effort and resolve.
The foundation’s board of trustees has continually reaffirmed that wemust manage the foundation with a long-term perspective. The endow-ment is therefore invested to provide a “perpetual source of support” forthe courageous individuals and institutions around the world who sharethe values underlying our mission.
This past year, that support continued major lines of work such as the Partnership for Higher Education in Africa, a $40 million commitmentby the foundation to strengthen universities in seven African countries by providing high-speed data connections and supporting opportunitiesfor a new generation of young leaders in economics, science and develop-ment. Ford also invested in the vital work of the International Center for Transitional Justice, which helps communities and governments healthe wounds of armed conflict and human rights abuse and transition toenduring democratic systems. In the United States, the foundation isbuilding financial security in America’s most disadvantaged communitiesby working with financial institutions that have changed bank lendingpractices across the country and made it possible for families to invest inhomes, enterprises and their children’s future. And it provided more than$10 million to a new national organization that will support individualartists, whose work makes an invaluable contribution to civic life by help-ing us better understand ourselves and our times.
Each of these initiatives, as with all of our grant making this pastyear, aims to fulfill the broad mission of human well-being set forth by our founders. The photographs which follow suggest the myriad waysthe foundation and its grantee partners seek to transform those highideals into everyday reality. But the images are just a small window onthe large but largely unheralded world of passionate, talented and origi-nal people who, across the United States and around the globe, investtheir energy and their faith in the pursuit of something better for us all.
“to improve people’s lives”
year in review
opening doors to ownership and opportunityyear in review
owning a home has remained beyond the reach of millions of hard-working families because conventionalmortgages and low wages present insurmountably high barriers to ownership. The foundation believes that givingpeople a fair chance to build assets is critical to breaking the cycle of poverty and dependence. A $50 million grant to
the Center for Community Self Help leveraged more than $2 billion in mortgage financing from Fannie Mae. Now in its sixth year, the initiative has boldly demonstrated that low-income families are valuable customers, transforming45,000 of them across the country from renters into home owners—with a future they can bank on.
extending theyear in review
throughout south asia , Dalits live a precarious existence, shunned by society because of their non-status in a caste system they inherit at birth. The Dalit Foundation, part of an emerging global movement of grass-roots philanthropies, provides a local resource for investment, self-determination and dignity among some of the world’s most marginalized people. With belief in the power of local philanthropy, in 2005 the Ford Foundation
reach and power of philanthropy
launched a major initiative to strengthen this movement by committing $100 million to 18 emerging and establishedfoundations in Africa, Asia, the Middle East, the Americas, Eastern Europe and Russia. Among other things, the DalitFoundation has funded the first Dalit-language newspaper, a major step toward building the capacity of the communityfrom within.
securing the town square in a digital ageyear in review
the foundation was a leading pioneer in public broadcasting in the United States, support-ing major developments, including icons such as “Sesame Street.” Continuing that tradition in the new media age, thefoundation in 2005 committed $50 million to support new media enterprises that serve the public interest, as well as
standard bearers such as NPR and PBS. Link TV of San Francisco is helping to chart new frontiers in digital media. A nonprofit satellite channel, Link offers news and discussion from diverse global and national sources, connecting21 million households to different ways of seeing the world.
seeding futuresyear in review
nearly half of all children in the United States grow up in households with no financial assetson which to build their futures. The foundation has supported 12 partners around the country in creating savingsaccounts for children, seeded at birth with contributed funds but built over time by families themselves. Alex Pringle

(bottom left), a high school graduate in Denver, is using the money he saved to attend college. Stephanie Wooten (top left) is a mentor in the program, helping younger people like Alex. Since 1996, the foundation has committedmore than $100 million to programs that help people like Alex and Stephanie reassess the possibilities of their lives.
guiding the search foryear in review
for nations that have suffered years of war or repressive rule, the road to lasting peace requirespainful steps down pathways of truth and justice (as in Argentina, above). Over the last decade, as more nations setforth on this journey, the lessons learned have become a valuable resource. Since its founding in 2001 with majorFord Foundation support, the International Center for Transitional Justice has deepened our understanding of what
peace and reconciliation
it takes to create a process that promotes justice and secures a sustainable peace. The center has undertaken 250missions to more than 30 countries. In 2005, a new grant enabled the center to apply lessons recently learned inPeru (above) to the Moroccan truth-seeking effort, the first in the Middle East.
driving new urban trends that workyear in review
like urban areas everywhere , Atlanta is increasingly plagued by clogged commuter highways,declining older neighborhoods, and a lack of affordable housing. But funding from Ford for the Atlanta Neighbor-hood Development Partnership helped some 40 local partners generate fresh approaches to these problems,
resulting in urban development that puts people, public transportation and jobs together. In Baltimore, Detroit andseveral other U.S. cities, the foundation is backing home-grown efforts to open new avenues of development thatbenefit everyone.
creating space for young artists in changing societiesyear in review
in vietnam , young filmmakers are dramatizing their nation’s cultural transformation and introducing audiencesto new ways of seeing their history, identity and potential. To play a positive role in this transformation, the FordFoundation worked with the Vietnamese government to establish film studies departments at two universities, and is
helping introduce new technology to filmmakers of all ages. This work recognizes the unique role of the arts in building stronger societies.
strengthening the link betweenyear in review
in a major effort to strengthen african universities , Ford joined five other founda-tions in announcing $200 million for higher education in Africa. Seeing these universities as engines of developmentand leadership in their nations, Ford is making a $40 million, five-year commitment, joining other foundations in bringing high-speed Web access to eleven institutions, building more dynamic programs in economics and the sciences
education and development
and improving opportunities for women. One of the most advanced programs is at Makerere University (above),in Kampala, Uganda. The initiative is just one part of Ford’s continuing investment in higher education around theworld, supporting the development of local solutions, new knowledge and enlightened leadership.
the memory of what we saw will stay with us. Hurricane Katrina not only tore open homes andcommunities, it opened our eyes to poverty and exclusion. With billions of dollars going into the Gulf Coast, we havean opportunity to help renew the American commitment to equality, respect, fairness and opportunity for all. TheFord Foundation committed $12 million to some 30 organizations involved in this work of renewal, many of them

They are institutions that fight poverty, advocate for better lives,urge equitable public investment, support small enterprise, and help people striving for long-term social change.Diverse in their activities and approaches, these grantees are nonetheless bound by a common vision: that old divisions make way for a future in which all share in the region’s promise.

grant making
“making grants that build knowledge
how we work
From headquarters in New York and offices around the world, the founda-tion seeks out innovative people and institutions striving to build justice,peace, democracy and knowledge—cornerstones of our mission for morethan five decades. The foundation has focused its grant making into threecomplementary program areas: Asset Building and Community Develop-ment, Peace and Social Justice, and Knowledge, Creativity and Freedom.
While we limit the fields in which we make grants, the foundation recog-nizes that the ambitions of its mission are broad and interrelated. We therefore encourage staff, regardless of their location or specific expertise,to share experiences and strategies with colleagues across the foundation.
We also believe in the value of linking grantees in one part of the worldwith those working elsewhere for their mutual benefit, knowledge andinspiration. Coming together builds understanding of approaches thatwork and enables the spread of best practices. Our grant making deliber-ately incorporates opportunities for grantees to observe each other’s workup close, to meet in conference or to create Web sites and other tools thatfoster the exchange of ideas and the development of relationships acrosscommunities and continents.
ford foundation annual report 2005 29
proposals are accepted and reviewed in the office located closestto the beneficiaries of the work being proposed (a full list of our officelocations appears inside the back cover). Grant recommendations origi-nate in those offices and grants for under $200,000 may be approvedlocally. Grant recommendations for $200,000 or more are considered in New York, generally at biweekly meetings of staff and foundationofficers.
Each year Ford receives about 40,000 proposals and makes some2,000 grants. Requests range from a few thousand dollars to millions ofdollars and are accepted in categories such as planning grants, projectsupport, general support and endowments. We also consider requestsfor recoverable grants, loans and loan guarantees. There are no applica-tion deadlines. We consider requests throughout the year.
We recommend that applicants first send us a brief letter of inquiry.The letter should include the purpose of the project; the problems andissues the project addresses; information about the organization; anestimated overall project budget; the period of time the funds wouldcover; and the qualifications of those engaged in the project.
In response, foundation staff members may ask for a formal pro-posal. Proposals include: a description of the proposed work and how it will be conducted; the names and biographies of those engaged in the project; the organization’s current budget; a detailed project budget;the organization’s current means of support and the status of its appli-cations to other funding sources; and the organization’s legal and taxstatus.
Proposals are considered in light of current areas of work the foun-dation is pursuing, as well as the broader aspirations expressed by ourmission.
once the foundation’s board approves work on a key issue or in a particular geographic area, a program officer will explore in detailhow foundation grants can best contribute to progress. The officerbegins this process by consulting broadly with potential beneficiaries,practitioners, researchers, policy makers and others to identify ideas,institutions, or projects worthy of support. During this process of explo-ration, the program officer looks for innovative approaches in the workthat grantees might undertake, benchmarks by which to measure results,and expected costs.

When the program officer has completed this process of discovery,he or she presents a proposed program of grant making in a memoran-dum reviewed by peers, a supervisor and at least two senior foundationofficers. Once the proposed program is approved, the officer begins theprocess of soliciting and reviewing proposals and making specific grants,usually setting out with a two-year budget allocation. Staff are encour-aged to make plans for 65 percent of their budget allocation, leaving 35percent free for unforeseen opportunities.
Program staff regularly report to the board on grants made andongoing lines of work. Because of the foundation’s long-term focus, thefoundation frequently renews grants to organizations that demonstratethey are making progress toward their objectives.
In reviewing proposals, grant makers look for fresh thinking, peo-ple and organizations that are effective and collaborative, and evidencethat the proposed project will help fulfill the foundation’s mission. Fordsupports pluralism and equal opportunity, both in its operations and inits grant making. In evaluating proposals, we consider the opportunitiesthat prospective grantees provide for women and disadvantaged groups.
When we receive a proposal, we write to the applicant asking thatFord be notified if they do not receive a substantive response from uswithin 45 days. Applicants may typically expect to learn within sixweeks whether their proposals are within the foundation’s programinterests and are being seriously considered for funding. If the proposalis being considered for a grant, Ford may conduct site visits and grantnegotiations as well as administrative and legal reviews. The foundationusually completes this process and the program officer presents thegrant for approval within approximately three months, unless there arespecial circumstances.
Activities supported by grants and program-related investmentsmust be charitable, educational or scientific, as defined under the appro-priate provisions of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code and TreasuryRegulations.
Ford makes grants to individuals, generally limited to research,training and travel directly related to our program interests. Thesegrants are awarded through publicly announced competitions or on thebasis of nominations from universities and other nonprofit institutions.We do not fund undergraduate scholarships or personal needs. The
ford foundation annual report 2005 31
graduate fellowships we fund are generally provided through universi-ties or other organizations, which select the recipients.
during the course of a grant, the program officer typically meetswith the grantee on site or at a foundation office and reviews thegrantee’s financial and narrative reports, which are also reviewed by agrants administrator and, where appropriate, by a lawyer. The granteemay be asked to attend meetings the foundation convenes to discusscurrent and future program strategy. Often, Ford hires evaluators to helpmonitor groups of grants or a single grantee’s work.
Monitoring is designed to ensure that the funds are used forapproved and lawful purposes, and to see whether the grant is con-tributing to progress toward the larger goal—for example, reducingpoverty or injustice. We understand that the work the foundation andits grantees undertake together is difficult, that success often resultsfrom multiple efforts over a long period, and that setbacks are likely.The monitoring process encourages candid exchanges about the workand whether the strategy might be adjusted to get better results overthe long term.
Tracking progress
The Ford Foundation’s GrantCraft project provides grant makers withpractical wisdom on the tools and techniques of effective grant making.GrantCraft grew out of an ongoingseries of case studies that Ford devel-oped to orient its new program officers.Since then the project has interviewedhundreds of grant makers from otherfoundations to collect lessons fromtheir experiences, as well as from grantseekers and users. The resulting mate-rials, designed for self-study and work-shops, have been used in trustee andstaff orientations, in grant-making association meetings and in universitycourses on philanthropy.
Guides in this series include “Scanningthe Landscape: Finding Out What’sGoing on in Your Field,” “Working withthe Business Sector: Pursuing PublicGood with Private Partners” and “WhenProjects Flounder: Coming to the RescueWhen Good Grants Go Astray.” Videos,which include topics such as “ScalingUp Successful Work,” can be orderedon DVD, viewed online on GrantCraft’sWeb site or at Foundation Centerlibraries in Atlanta, Cleveland, NewYork, San Francisco and Washington.

svetlana pantyukhina (russia), who has trained dozens of commu-nity leaders in her native Siberia to tackle local problems, is one ofhundreds of alumni of the Ford Foundation International FellowshipsProgram who are now using their advanced training to make life betterin their home countries. The program was launched with a $280-milliongrant in 2001 to broaden access to higher education and help build anew generation of leaders. IFP fellows come from 21 countries inAfrica, Asia, Latin America, as well as Russia, and they may study any-where in the world. As they return home, their presence is making adifference. Says Pantyukhina: “I feel a vast responsibility when teachingpeople, and it is even more important when working with young leaders.”

“to reduce poverty”
The growth in wealth over the last decade, led by the rapid advance oftechnology and the opening of markets to entrepreneurship and trade,has transformed the global economy and broadened opportunity. Yetthe new economy has also produced well-documented growth in dispar-ities between those who have benefited from the boom and those whohave not. Three billion people—half the world’s population—still liveon less than $2 a day. In the United States, economic change has pro-duced gains for some but job loss and economic uncertainty for others.Equally alarming has been the increase in the numbers of those livingbelow the poverty line.
Promoting a prosperous and fair society requires innovative solutionsthat broaden the successful participation of individuals and communi-ties in its social and economic life. Our work recognizes that whilepoverty rates are traditionally measured by income disparities, strate-gies that build opportunity must address the persistent disparity ofwealth, particularly among women and minorities. In the United States,income among minorities averages roughly 55 percent that of whites,but wealth averages just 27 percent.
Wealth is accumulated through a life-long process of building assetssuch as homes, savings, land and enterprises. Such assets make an enor-mous difference in household economic stability, confidence, and hope.The foundation believes that families and communities everywhereshould be able to access, leverage and build assets. This is the work ofour program on Asset Building and Community Development.
The foundation views assets more broadly than savings, stock or prop-erty, however. We see assets as a broad array of resources that enablepeople to exert control over their lives and participate in their societies
ford foundation annual report 2005 35
in meaningful and effective ways. This view of assets embraces notonly notions of savings, ownership and equity, but includes naturalresources that sustain livelihoods in rural communities; marketableskills that enable people to improve their earning power; public assetssuch as community philanthropic endowments, civic organizations and public transportation; and the social assets that strengthen solidar-ity and collaborative problem solving in communities.
With foundation support, for example, rural communities in Indo-nesia, Mexico and India have secured the right to manage local forests.As they earn income by harvesting wood and other products, they alsoact as stewards, protecting the forests for generations to come. Thiswork is also done in the United States.
We also continue to pioneer programs that make it possible for low-income people to buy a home or create savings. We work closelywith bankers and others in the financial industry to understand thestrengths of these customers and how to make asset-building tools workin their lives. We support pilot programs that provide savings accountsfor children at birth, seeded by a variety of sources but built primarilyby low-income families for education, a home or retirement.
Our grantees in many countries provide small loans to entrepre-neurs who don’t qualify for traditional lines of credit. A grantee inIndia invests in enterprise at all levels of a given production chain—from microenterprises to end marketing. This poverty-reduction strat-egy aims to sustain livelihoods for poor communities while buildingtheir equity in a growing line of business.
These are just a few examples of the work this program supports,all of it focused on transforming the way families and communitiesthink about and plan for the future, expanding the choices they have tomake use of resources around them, and empowering them to buildenduring assets and lasting economic security for themselves and theirchildren.

“to reduce injustice”
Over the last hundred years, societies around the globe have generated morewealth than in any other century in history. Yet they have also produced moreviolence and greater inequities than the world has ever known. The best hopefor curtailing such strife and suffering—and letting more people share in thebenefits of prosperity—lies with an engaged populace and public officials who are committed to a more secure and peaceful future based upon respectfor human rights and the inherent worth and dignity of every person.
To realize this vision, people around the world are taking steps to strengthenthe rule of law, establish democratic and accountable governments, createopportunities for civil society to thrive and fulfill the promise of human rights.Our program on Peace and Social Justice supports these inspiring people.
The process of globalization has brought new salience and urgency to the driveto create just societies. As countries around the world undergo continual demo-graphic, economic and cultural change, they must wrestle with complex issuesof difference and identity, religion and ethnicity, migration and citizenship.How can increasingly cosmopolitan societies govern themselves in ways thatrespect differences while fostering a genuine sense of the common interest?This is a key challenge for the 21st century.
In addressing this challenge, the foundation supports efforts to improve gov-ernment performance and accountability, as well as the development of legalsystems which protect human dignity and open societies. This emphasis ongood governance includes grants to those working to prevent and resolveconflict within and among countries. We support the search for effective multi-lateral mechanisms that engage both government and civil society, and we provide support to institutions helping to create reconciliation and renewal inpost-conflict situations.

Throughout history, people have come together voluntarily to defendand advance their common interests. Our work seeks to expand thespace for citizen organizing in ways that promote peace and social justice. In addition to free elections, citizens must also have meaningfulopportunities to organize and engage in public deliberation, argumentand dissent. We look for ways that grass-roots groups, nonprofits, andmembership organizations can connect with one another, articulatecommon goals and promote mutual accountability.
Typically, we make grants that enable such groups to strengthentheir internal capacity, work together collaboratively, and build allianceswith the government and business sectors. In the United States, we support statewide coalitions that train people to organize, as well asgrantees working to promote civic engagement in global governanceand lighten the debt burden shouldered by developing countries.
The ultimate goal of this work is to fulfill the rights that accrue toall people by virtue of their humanity. We believe that both citizens and government share responsibility to secure the full range of humanrights. In some contexts, the challenge is to establish policies that recog-nize and protect these rights. In other cases, where such safeguards are already in place, the foremost task is ensuring their full implemen-tation. We support research, education and advocacy efforts that pro-tect the rights of all people, particularly the most vulnerable membersof society.
Those we work with around the world are leading efforts to buildinclusive democracies; curb government waste and corruption; safe-guard the rights of women, refugees, minorities, and other vulnerablegroups; curtail the spread of HIV; and end discrimination of all kinds.While these can sometimes seem to be distant aspirations, we haveseen concrete progress. More importantly, our grantees continue to findinnovative avenues to further gains.

“to advance human achievement”
The worldwide demand for educational opportunity, creative expression,and access to knowledge, new media and new technologies has never beengreater than in the first few years of the 21st century. As people, ideas,opportunities and goods continually shift within and among countries, thisdesire to better understand the world and one’s rightful place in it is hasgrown across all cultures, from established democracies to nations in transi-tion. Supporting this search for meaning and understanding in a fluid, inter-dependent yet unequal world is the work of our program on Knowledge,Creativity and Freedom.
KC&F aims to build knowledge, encourage creativity and secure greater free-dom of expression for all people, especially the marginalized. We do thisthrough grants for education, religion and the study of human sexuality, andin media, arts and culture.
We invest in education to increase access and improve the performance ofeducational systems. In the arts we seek to increase opportunities for culturaland artistic expression, while broadening audiences and improving the live-lihoods of artists. The research we support in human sexuality and reproduc-tive health builds knowledge and deepens public understanding of healthysexuality that can help inform public debate. We fund work that examinesthe role of religious traditions and texts in shaping social values and howthese traditions and texts can contribute in positive ways to creating pluralis-tic societies. Our work also promotes free and responsible media that reachesdiverse audiences, enriches public dialogue, and increases our understandingof regions around the world.
ford foundation annual report 2005 111
In 2005, recognizing the essential role the arts play in healthy and democratic societies, our grants helped launch a new national partner-ship of arts donors in the United States committed to supporting indi-vidual artists and their works. In other countries, including Brazil and Vietnam, we provided support for access to free and independentmedia and the development of a new generation of filmmakers.
Also in 2005, the foundation made a substantial commitment tostrengthen the capacity of 11 African universities in countries that have embraced governance reforms and a more open exchange of ideas.These universities serve as engines of economic growth in their nations,and are building a new generation of young leaders skilled in econom-ics, social and natural sciences and other fields critical to development.The program—part of a joint initiative with five other foundations—places special emphasis on expanding opportunities for African women.On U.S. college and university campuses, the foundation is supportingscholarship, teaching and civil dialogue around difficult political, reli-gious, racial and cultural issues.
As part of their work, our grantees seek to expand opportunity,promote inclusion and deepen individuals’ and communities’ under-standing of themselves and others, recognizing that traditions world-wide possess cultural and intellectual resources that enlarge the visionof what it means to be human. These diverse grantees cultivate the creativity, insights and responsibility needed to make societies moreopen and respectful of our shared humanity.
In a world that gets smaller with every technological innovation,that work is more valuable than ever.

losing ground by degreesWith a leveling off in the numbers of studentsearning college degrees, the U.S. no longer leads the world in college-educated workers. As of 2004, fewer than three in 10 U.S. adults age 25 to 29 had obtained a bachelor’s degreeor higher—in large part because low-incomeand minority students are finding it harder tofinance their educations.

ford’s trustees set policies relating to grant making, geographicfocus, spending, investment, management, governance and professionalstandards, and oversee internal and independent audits. They set thecompensation and review the performance of the president and allfoundation officers. The board of trustees currently is composed of 14members, including the president. Nominated by a trustee committeeand appointed by the full board, trustees generally serve two six-yearterms and are evaluated on an annual basis. Ford’s trustees bring a vastrange of knowledge and experience to the task of governing the founda-tion. They hail from four continents and are highly-respected for theirwork in the worlds of scholarship, business, government and nonprofitorganizations.
the trustees select the president, who implements board policiesand oversees Ford’s programs and operations on a day-to-day basis. The trustees and the president share the responsibility of representingthe foundation in the public sphere. The president continually reexam-ines Ford’s work, looking for opportunities to hone our strategies andimprove our effectiveness. Susan V. Berresford has been at Ford formore than 30 years and has served as president since 1996. She meetswith people around the world to discuss the issues the foundationworks on in order to deepen the foundation’s grasp of different per-spectives on those issues. In addition to overseeing the foundation’soperations, she works to communicate what Ford has learned to broadaudiences and also strives to strengthen the philanthropic sector’s per-formance, legal compliance and transparency.
the board of trustees determines the substantive areas and geo-graphic focus of the foundation’s grant making. Within the budgetapproved by the board, the foundation makes more than 2,000 grantsthroughout the year. The board has delegated authority for approvingthese grants to the president and senior staff. However, all trusteesserve on one of the board’s three program committees. Membership on those committees rotates so that trustees serving 12 years becomesteeped in the work of Ford’s three program areas and contribute totheir development and assessment. The trustees review approved grantsat their regular board meetings, which take place three times a year. At

those meetings, and during annual board visits to grantees worldwide,trustees meet grant recipients and learn about their work.
a five-person executive committee, composed of the board chair,the president and three additional trustees, works with the foundation’sexecutive officers between board meetings. Trustee committees dedica-ted to management and governance, audits and compensation, invest-ment, trustee nominations, transactions and proxy votes meet regularlyand guide foundation activities throughout the year.
The foundation’s Web site makes available to the public documentsthat describe Ford’s governance practices in great detail. The founda-tion’s bylaws and articles of incorporation and the board’s committeecharters and code of ethics are among the documents posted atwww.fordfound.org.
the ford foundation places high value on the independence of itsboard members; it requires that a majority of its trustees be independ-ent, that all trustees serving on the audit and membership (nominating)committees be independent, and that trustees on the audit committeesatisfy additional standards of independence. When the staff proposesthat the foundation fund an organization with which a trustee is affil-iated as an employee, officer or trustee, that grant is subject to reviewand approval by the audit committee. The grant action document,which is reviewed and approved by management prior to submission tothe audit committee, discloses the nature of the trustee affiliation andconfirms that the trustee played no role in the initiation or negotiationof the grant.

our history
“this has been our purpose for more
the ford foundation was established by edsel ford in 1936 with an initial gift of $25,000. During its early years, the foundationoperated in Michigan under the leadership of the Ford family. Since its charter stated that its resources should be used “all for the publicwelfare,” the foundation made grants to many different kinds of orga-nizations. After the deaths of Edsel Ford in 1943 and Henry in 1947,their bequests of Ford Motor Company stock significantly expanded the foundation’s holdings and income available for grant making.
This led Henry Ford II, Edsel’s son and then president of the foun-dation, to appoint H. Rowan Gaither, a respected San Francisco attor-ney, to lead a seven-member panel of experts to chart a new course forthe future. The panel’s recommendations were unanimously approvedin 1950 by the foundation’s trustees. The report recommended that thefoundation become a national and international philanthropy dedicatedto the advancement of human welfare. Perhaps most significant, thepanel urged the foundation to declare its intention to focus on solvinghumankind’s most pressing problems, whatever they might be, ratherthan to work in any particular field, which was the more traditional andaccepted approach for foundations.
The report recommended support for activities worldwide that:
Promise significant contributions to world peace and the establishment of a world order of law and justice; Secure greater allegiance to the basic principles of freedom and democracy in the solution of the insistent problems of an ever-changing society; Advance the economic well being of people everywhere andimprove economic institutions for the better realization of democratic goals; Strengthen, expand and improve educational facilities and methods to enable individuals more fully to realize their intellectual, civic and spiritual potentialities; to promote greater equality of educational opportunity; and to conserve and increase knowledge and enrich our culture; and Through scientific work, increase knowledge of factors whichinfluence or determine human conduct, and extend such knowledge for the maximum benefit of individuals and society.
Henry Ford and Edsel Ford.
ford foundation annual report 2005 151
The report also recommended that the foundation operate under thepolicy guidance of the trustees, with the president and staff officershaving a high degree of discretion and the flexibility necessary torespond to unforeseen opportunities.
In 1953, under the direction of Henry II, the trustees took a furtherstep to fulfill the foundation’s new national and global mission by locat-ing in New York. The foundation leased space in the city until 1967,when construction of a new headquarters building was completed. Diver-sification of the foundation’s portfolio was discussed as early as 1949and divestment of the Ford Motor Company stock occurred between1955 and 1974.
Henry II led the foundation from 1943 to 1976, variously as Presi-dent, Chair and Member of the Board of Trustees. He steered its trans-formation from a local Detroit foundation to a national and interna-tional organization. In nearly every major decision, he sought to createan institution of the highest order to pursue innovative solutions to the problems of humankind. Three Ford family members served asfoundation trustees at different times, with Henry Ford II serving formore than 30 years, until his resignation in 1976.
Today the foundation remains a national and international founda-tion based in New York and with offices in Asia, Africa, the MiddleEast, Latin America and Russia. The foundation’s trustees, drawn fromacross the United States and also from Africa, Asia and Latin America,bring experience in business, government and the civic sector. Grantsand loans support activities in all 50 states and more than 50 countries.To this day, the program areas of the foundation advance the goals out-lined in the Gaither Committee report.

introduction
the foundation’s budget and spending policies are designed sothat the foundation will continue to address major societal issues world-wide for many years to come. Most of the problems the foundationaddresses require long-term attention, steady engagement and periodicadjustments to correct what is not working. The foundation also gainsspecial expertise by sticking with problems over time. In order to pur-sue multiyear programs and strategies, the foundation tries to investand budget in ways that produce relatively smooth spending patterns,while preserving the value of the investment portfolio.
Ford’s board of trustees approves program and operational budgetson a two-year basis, appropriating one year’s funding at a time. Thisenables program, administrative and investment staff to plan aheadwith a reasonable degree of certainty. The size of the two-year budgettakes into account three considerations: the need to satisfy the U.S. federal payout requirement (the obligation to disburse annually about 5 percent of the average value of the investment portfolio); the objec-tive of preserving the value of the endowment for long-term charitablefunding; and program needs and opportunities. Funds are drawn onallocations made at the outset of the budget period, as well as from thegeneral reserve, a set-aside of between 10 and 20 percent of the budget.This reserve is controlled by the trustees. It is used as a source of grantfunding beyond the regular program budget when markets are steadyor rising but held (in whole or part) and not used in declining markets.
The general reserve has been the source of especially large grants orallocations for unforseen work that staff recommend within their pro-gram areas but cannot be accommodated within regular budget alloca-tions. Occasionally, when an opportunity is particularly compelling, thetrustees have gone beyond the general reserve and drawn even morefunds from the investment portfolio to fund especially significant initia-tives. At the end of fiscal year 2000, for example, a $280-million grantlaunched a new 12-year academic fellowships program for promisingcommunity leaders in developing countries.
The level of program spending by the foundation is related to thevalue of the endowment. chart 1 shows this relationship starting in1970 and indicates how, in recent years, program spending has exceededthe growth in investment portfolio values.
Since the budget is based on several considerations, the foundationdoes not necessarily limit its spending to the amount needed to meet

the payout requirement. In fact, as chart 2 shows, the foundation gen-erally spends more than required. In the last six years, the foundation’spayout has averaged 6.1 percent.
Since the early 1970’s it has been the policy of the foundation to tryto preserve the real (inflation-adjusted) value of the endowment. Thedifficulty of achieving this—particularly if spending exceeds the payoutrequirement on a regular basis—is reflected in chart 3. This chartshows the value of the endowment since 1970 in both real and nominalterms. As indicated, even with the bull market of the 1980’s and 1990’s,the foundation has not made up for the erosion of the investment port-folio in the 1970’s. Over the 36-year period covered by the chart, thefoundation disbursed $12.2 billion.
investments
The foundation’s investment portfolio was valued at $11.4 billion at theend of fiscal 2005, versus $10.5 billion at the close of fiscal 2004. Theportfolio rate of return was 15.5 percent for the fiscal year, 14.4 percentannualized for the three year period, and 11.0 percent annualized forthe ten-year period. The foundation’s primary investment objective is to generate an inflation-adjusted return in excess of our mandated mini-mum 5 percent payout requirement. We have achieved that objectiveover the long term.
Equities continued to perform well during fiscal 2005, led by inter-national and especially emerging markets. The foundation’s interna-tional equities gained 29.3 percent for the year, and its U.S. equityportfolios gained 16.0 percent. Private equity portfolio values rose forthe year due to strong initial public offering (IPO) activity and sales ofcompanies from our buyout partnerships. The fixed income portfoliogained 3.9 percent, with international bonds and inflation-linked bondsperforming particularly well during a year in which the Federal Reserveincreased short-term interest rates substantially.

The Internal Revenue Code imposes an excise tax on private founda-tions equal to 2 percent of net investment income, which is defined as interest, dividends and net realized gains less operating and capitallosses on partnership investments and expenses incurred in the pro-duction of income. The tax is reduced to 1 percent for foundations that meet certain distribution requirements. For fiscal year 2005, the tax is estimated to be $21 million, excluding the deferred portion of excise taxes resulting from unrealized appreciation/depreciation oninvestments. Since fiscal 1971 the foundation has incurred federalexcise taxes of $258 million.
The Internal Revenue Code also requires private foundations annu-ally to disburse approximately 5 percent of the market value of invest-ment assets, less the federal excise tax. The payout requirement may besatisfied by payments for grants, program-related investments, directconduct of charitable activities and certain administrative expenses. Thefoundation had qualifying distributions of $622 million in fiscal 2005,exceeding the federally mandated payout requirement by $79 million.During the past five years, the foundation has made $3.4 billion in qual-ifying distributions, exceeding the federally mandated payout require-ment by $625 million.

financial review notes to financial statementsseptember 30, 2005
The financial statements of The Ford Foundation (the Foundation) are prepared on the accrual basis which is in conformity with account-ing principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Thesignificant accounting policies followed are set forth below:
investments Equity and fixed income investments are generally valued based upon the final sales price as quoted on major exchanges.However, certain fixed income securities are valued based upon yieldsor prices of securities of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and typeas well as indications as to values from brokers and dealers. Short-terminvestments generally represent securities with maturity of 1 year or less and are valued at amortized cost. Limited marketability invest-ments, representing amounts in venture capital and equity partner-ships, are valued at the quoted market price for securities for whichmarket quotations are readily available or an estimate of value (fairvalue) as determined in good faith by the general partner. Significantchanges affecting the values of these limited marketability investmentsthat occur between the time net asset values are last communicated by the general partner and the close of the Foundation’s fiscal year arereflected in the fair value recorded in the financial statements.
Transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized and unre-alized gains or losses on investments are determined by comparison of specific costs of acquisition (identified lot basis) to proceeds at thetime of disposal, or market values at the last day of the fiscal year,respectively, and include the effects of currency translation with respectto transactions and holdings of foreign securities. Dividends and inter-est are recognized when earned.
cash Consists of cash on hand and operating bank deposits.
program-related investments The Foundation invests in projectsthat advance philanthropic purposes. These program-related invest-ments are mainly loans outstanding for up to 10 years at below marketinterest rates and are presented at net realizable value based on an eval-uation of recoverability that utilizes experience.
Note 1. summary of significant accounting policies
ford foundation annual report 2005 163
fixed assets Land, buildings, furniture, equipment and leaseholdimprovements owned by the Foundation are recorded at cost. Depre-ciation is charged using the straight-line method based on estimateduseful lives of the particular assets generally estimated as follows:buildings, principally 50 years, furniture and equipment 3 to 15 years,and leasehold improvements over the life of the lease.
expenditures and appropriations Grant expenditures are consid-ered incurred at the time of approval. Uncommitted appropriations thathave been approved by the Board of Trustees are included in appropri-ated unrestricted net assets.
taxes The Foundation qualifies as a tax-exempt organization underSection 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and, accordingly, is notsubject to federal income taxes. However, the Foundation is subject to a federal excise tax.
The Foundation follows the policy of providing for federal excisetaxes on net appreciation (both realized and unrealized) on invest-ments. The deferred provision for federal excise tax represents taxesprovided on net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments.
risks and uncertainties The Foundation uses estimates in prepar-ing the financial statements which require management to make esti-mates and assumptions. These affect the reported amounts of assetsand liabilities at the date of the Statement of Financial Position and the reported amounts of income and expenditures during the reportingperiod. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The most signi-ficant estimates and assumptions relate to valuation of limited mar-ketable securities, allowances for possible losses on program-relatedinvestments and employee benefit plans.
accounting for derivative instruments and hedging activitiesThe Foundation records all derivative instruments, in accordance withStatement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 “Accounting for Derivative Investments and Hedging Activities” at fair value. Thefair value adjustment is recorded directly to the invested asset and rec-ognized as an unrealized gain or loss in the statements of activities.

financial review
The Foundation purchases and sells forward currency contracts where-by the Foundation agrees to exchange one currency for another on anagreed-upon date at an agreed-upon exchange rate to minimize theexposure of certain of its investments to adverse fluctuations in cur-rency markets. As of September 30, 2005 and 2004, the Foundation hadforeign currency contracts with notional amounts totaling $355.8 mil-lion and $170.8 million, respectively. Such contracts involve, to varyingdegrees, risks of loss from the possible inability of counterparties tomeet the terms of their contracts. Changes in the value of forward cur-rency contracts are recognized as unrealized gains or losses until suchcontracts are closed.

Note 4. provision for federal excise tax
The Internal Revenue Code imposes an excise tax on private founda-tions equal to 2 percent of net investment income, which is defined as interest, dividends and net realized gains less operating and capitallosses on partnership investments and expenses incurred in the pro-duction of income. The tax is reduced to 1 percent for foundations that meet certain distribution requirements. In fiscal year 2004, theFoundation satisfied these requirements and therefore was eligible forthe reduced tax. The provision for federal excise tax (based on a 2 percent rate in fiscal year 2005 and a 1 percent rate in fiscal year 2004)consists of a current provision on net investment income. A deferredexcise tax provision at a rate of 2 percent is recognized on current netunrealized gains on investments for 2005 (1 percent in 2004).
The amount of excise taxes paid were $21.6 million and $6.5 million in fiscal years 2005 and 2004, respectively.

The Foundation’s defined benefit pension plans and the defined contri-bution plans cover substantially all New York-appointed employees(staff who are locally appointed by overseas offices are covered by otherretirement arrangements). Pension benefits generally depend upon age,length of service and salary level. The Foundation also provides retireeswith at least five years of service and who are at least age 55 with non-pension post-retirement benefits which include medical, dental and lifeinsurance. The defined benefit pension plans are annually funded inaccordance with the minimum funding requirements of the EmployeeRetirement Income Security Act. The non-pension post-retirementbenefits are not funded by the Foundation.

The investment strategy is to manage investment risk through prudentasset allocation that will produce a rate of return commensurate withthe plans’ obligations. The Foundation expects to continue the invest-ment target allocations as noted above in 2006. The Foundation’s overall expected long-term rate of return on plan assets is based uponhistorical long-term returns of the investment performance adjusted to reflect expectations of future long-term returns by asset class. TheFoundation expects to have a contribution requirement to the pensionplans in fiscal year 2006 of $817,000.
Estimated future benefit payments, which reflect expected future service, as appropriate, are expected to be paid as follows:

Note 6. contingencies, commitments and guarantees
The Foundation is involved in several legal actions. The Foundationbelieves it has defenses for all such claims, believes the claims are sub-stantially without merit, and is vigorously defending the actions. In the opinion of management, the final disposition of these matters willnot have a material effect on the Foundation’s financial position.
As part of its program-related investment activities, the Foundationis committed to provide $33,525,000 of loans to not-for-profit organiza-tions once certain conditions are met. Further, as part of its investmentmanagement activity, the Foundation is committed to additional fundingof $896,356,000 in private equity and other investment commitments.
