In pursuit of its mission around the world, the Ford Foundation’s grant-making activities generate ideas as well as social change. The list is long: A few examples are constructive ways to promote more democratic societies; new ideas for education reform; and innovative approaches to improving the lives of the poor. The O≤ce of Communications’ central goal is to make sure the best of these

President’s Letter
Foundations are generally well regarded in the United States although few people know how they actually work or can name more than one or two of them. Many confuse foundations with well-known charities or service providers. At a time when there is increased expectation for accountability and transparency, such confusion must be cleared up by philanthropic organizations themselves.
In that spirit, this year’s annual report includes brief explanatory remarks—set o≠ in green as on the opposite page—to accompany the various sections in order to give specialists and nonspecialists additional information about how the Ford Foundation goes about its work. In this report and on our Web site, we seek to answer such basic questions as: What is the Ford Foundation and where does its money come from? How do we decide what to support? How are grants made and what is the process?
American foundations are accountable to many audiences, for example, the U.S. Congress and the state attorneys general, which regulate us, the Internal Revenue Service, to which we report, and trustees, who oversee our work. At the same time, accountability is owed to the public. We hold our endowment funds in a private trust for the public good, so the public should be able to learn how those funds are managed and spent. I hope this report makes progress toward that goal.
Susan V. Berresford President

overseeing the foundation’s program and operations, and representing the foundation to the public. I have worked at the foundation for more than 30 years, beginning as a research assistant and going on to hold a succession of jobs related to the foundation’s U.S. and international work. Since becoming president in April 1996, my priorities have been to support ambitious programs fostering democratic values, economic well-being, peace, cultural expression and educational achievement. We have
worked to create partnerships with grantees that emphasize joint learning and reflection. We have made it a priority to communicate what we are learning to broad audiences, and to build a sta≠ with diverse backgrounds and skills.
with people in other organizations concerned with public issues on which the foundation works. I try to understand di≠erent perspectives on these issues and to continually examine what Ford is doing, how we might do it better, and what we might do in the future.
As our assets have grown, another priority has been to put significant resources behind promising ideas. The largest of these is the International Fellowships Program. Over 10 years it will enable 3,500 talented community leaders outside the United States—who would otherwise have no possibility of pursuing graduate study—to spend up to three years at any university in the world. This is a $280 million investment in local leaders from disadvantaged communities who could later emerge on the national, regional or world stage.
I also spend time on a variety of e≠orts to strengthen philanthropy’s performance, legal compliance and transparency.

The Foundation’s Mission
The Ford Foundation was established by Henry Ford in
Since then, Ford’s grant

who included members of the Ford family, recommended that the foundation become a national and international philanthropy dedicated to the advancement of human welfare.
the foundation made grants to many di≠erent kinds of organizations. 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 the Ford family to

Mission Statement The Ford Foundation is a resource for innovative people and institutions worldwide. Our goals are to: Strengthen democratic values, Reduce poverty and injustice, Promote international cooperation and Advance human achievement. This has been our purpose for more than half a century. A fundamental challenge facing every society is to create political, economic and social systems that promote peace, human welfare and the sustainability of the environment on which life depends. We believe that the best way to meet this challenge is to encourage initiatives by those living and working closest to where problems are located; to promote collaboration among the nonprofit, government and business sectors; and to ensure participation by men and women from diverse communities and at all levels of society. In our experience, such activities help build common understanding, enhance excellence, enable people to improve their lives and reinforce their commitment to society. The Ford Foundation is one source of support for these activities. We work mainly by making grants or loans that build knowledge and strengthen organizations and networks. Since our financial resources are modest in comparison with societal needs, we focus on a limited number of problem areas and program strategies within our broad goals.
Founded in 1936, the foundation operated as a local philanthropy in the state of Michigan until 1950, when it expanded to become a national and international foundation. Since its inception it has been an independent, nonprofit, nongovernmental organization. It has provided more than $12 billion for grants, projects and loans. These funds derive from an investment portfolio that began with gifts and bequests of Ford Motor Company stock by Henry and Edsel Ford. The foundation no longer owns Ford Motor Company stock, and its diversified portfolio is managed to provide a perpetual source of support for the foundation’s programs and operations. The trustees of the foundation set policy and delegate authority to the president and senior sta≠ for the foundation’s grant making and operations. Program o≤cers in the United States, Africa, the Middle East, Asia, Latin America and Russia explore opportunities to pursue the foundation’s goals, formulate strategies and recommend proposals for funding.

Ford Foundation Trustees and Officers Board of Trustees
The Ford Foundation is governed by a board that may consist of up to 20 trustees. Currently there are 16 trustees, 11 from the United States and five who are citizens of other countries around the world. They are selected for their experience as leaders in communities and fields in which the foundation works. Nominated by a trustee committee and approved by the full board, trustees generally serve two six-year terms. They set policies relating to spending, management, governance, professional standards, investment, grant making and geographic focus. They review internal and independent audits, represent the foundation before the public, select the president, and review the performance and set the compensation of all of the o≤cers.

Ford Foundation Staff
Ford grant-making sta≠ are selected for their experience in the substantive areas of the foundation’s programs, their ability to work in diverse communities and complex organizations, and their capacity to function both independently and as team members. The foundation has found that bringing new sta≠ into program roles on a regular basis helps ensure fresh analysis and strategic review, so program sta≠ generally serve for about six years. All other sta≠ work with an expectation of continuing employment subject to regular reviews of performance and organizational needs.

The Asset Building and Community Development program helps strengthen and increase the e≠ectiveness of people and organizations working to find solutions to problems of poverty and injustice. Thirty-six program sta≠ focus grant resources on the fields in two program units in New York and abroad. We support people who are building human, social, financial and environmental assets that enable people and communities to exert control over their lives and to participate in their societies in meaningful and e≠ective ways. Grants support vibrant social movements, institutions and partnerships that analyze contemporary social and economic needs and devise responses to them.
The Covenant Centre for Development in India is using foundation support to help poor rural people improve their livelihoods through better use of local resources and traditional skills. A major success has been in establishing a for-profit company owned mainly by poor tribal women who cultivate and collect medicinal plants, which have a growing market demand.

unit Economic Development The Economic Development unit, led by Frank DeGiovanni, director, and John Colborn, deputy director, seeks to make durable economic improvements in the lives of the disadvantaged. The unit coordinates e≠orts in two fields: In Development Finance and Economic Security we support organizations that help businesses create employment opportunities and help lowincome people acquire, develop and maintain savings, investments, businesses, homes, land and other assets. In Work-Force Development we support organizations that help improve the ways low-income people develop marketable job skills and acquire and retain reliable employment that provides livable wages. The Economic Development unit administers program-related investments (PRIs) for the foundation’s programs.
unit Community and Resource Development The Community and Resource Development unit, led by Cynthia Duncan, director, and Carl Anthony, deputy director, coordinates work
2003
in three fields that aims to create conditions for the development of sustainable and equitable communities. In Environment and Development we help people and groups acquire, protect and improve land, water, forests, wildlife and other natural assets in ways that help reduce poverty and injustice. In Community Development we seek to improve the quality of life and opportunities for positive change in urban and rural communities. We support community-based institutions that mobilize and leverage philanthropic capital, investment capital, social capital and natural resources in a responsible and fair manner. In Sexuality and Reproductive Health, a field addressed in all three of the foundation’s programs, we focus on the social, cultural and economic factors that a≠ect sexuality and reproductive health. Grant making emphasizes community-based responses to growing needs for prevention strategies and appropriate policies. It also focuses on empowering women and youth to participate in improving reproductive health and related policies. In all these units, grant making also helps to establish and fortify organizations and institutions that support asset building through research, training, policy analysis and advocacy.
Grant making aims to help lowincome people and communities build the financial, human, social and natural resource assets they need to overcome poverty and injustice. By supporting and building strong fields, we will be able to continue devising strategies appropriate to new situations. Pablo J. Farías, the deputy to the vice president of the Asset Building and Community Development program, is responsible for helping our sta≠ members develop and share what we have learned in our work.

ASSET BUILDING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
Program-Related Investments Approved Grants and Projects, Fiscal Year 2003
Bridge Housing Corporation $3,000,000 Program-related investments (PRIs) are usually loans, although they may also be loan guarantees or equity investments. The primary purpose of these investments is to help meet the credit needs of organizations in low-income communities that lack capital to finance important projects. The distinguishing feature of PRIs is that, unlike grants, they are recoverable. PRIs help recipients close credit gaps, leverage additional financing from other public and private sources, and accumulate assets. In this way, they help build strong, sustainable development organizations.
To promote homeownership for low- and moderate-income households who qualify for mortgages but are priced out of the housing market.

Peace and Social Justice bradford k. smith, vice president
Peace is a precondition for the full achievement of the foundation’s mission to strengthen democratic values, reduce poverty and injustice, promote international cooperation and advance human achievement. Armed conflict destroys not only human lives but also livelihoods, governments, civil institutions, trust — in short, everything in its wake. Social justice is the aspiration of all healthy societies and the only long-term guarantee for sustaining peace. Policy, civic participation and the law are the principal strategies used by the Peace and Social Justice program, a network of some 50 program sta≠ members based in two New York program units and our o≤ces overseas.
Students at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology show their support for a≤rmative action in higher education at a rally in March 2003. Three months later the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in favor of a≤rmative action policies at the University of Michigan Law School. Historically, the foundation has supported a≤rmative action as a means toward ending discrimination based on race, sex or national origin and promoting a more diverse and unified society.
In Kiev, a woman casts her ballot in an election for the Ukrainian parliament. The foundation supports a variety of e≠orts to advance democratic practices, such as voting and trial by jury, throughout the former Soviet Union.

unit Human Rights The Human Rights unit, under the leadership of Alan Jenkins, director, and Taryn Higashi, deputy director, works in two fields: In Human Rights we promote access to justice and the protection of civil, political, economic, social and cultural rights, especially for the most vulnerable individuals and groups in society. Grant making emphasizes implementation of human rights protections by strengthening advocacy groups, supporting research and promoting outreach and education. Women’s rights and racial justice programming builds on the historic victories of these movements in the United States and supports antidiscrimination e≠orts and the struggles of women and minority groups in Latin America, South Asia and elsewhere. Other programming supports the protection of refugees and the human rights of immigrants domestically and around the world. In Sexuality and Reproductive Health, a field shared by all of the foundation’s programs, the unit works to secure recognition and enforcement of reproductive rights as embodied in the Plan of Action that emerged from the 1994 United Nations International Conference on Population and Development in Cairo. This work combines the protection of human rights with the promotion of public

health. Grant activities include HIV/AIDS prevention and e≠orts to end HIV/AIDS-related stigma and discrimination; halting sex-related tra≤cking, exploitation and violence; and promoting access to reproductive health services and technologies.
unit Governance and Civil Society The Governance and Civil Society unit, under the leadership of Michael A. Edwards, director, and Urvashi Vaid, deputy director, also works in two fields: In Governance we strengthen the responsiveness of state and local governments, improve the ability of national government institutions to secure peace and social justice, and build democratic global governance in the arenas of international economics, conflict and security. The unit supports e≠orts to improve government performance, build public awareness of budget and tax issues and confront the challenges posed by the trend toward government decentralization. Additional areas of work promote the value of political equality in America through sound reforms in electoral procedures and campaign financing. The global dimensions of governance are addressed through grant making to improve the management of the international economy and to prevent, mediate and address the
consequences of conflict within and between nations. In Civil Society we increase the impact of citizens’ groups working for peace and social justice, strengthen the philanthropic community that supports them, and encourage citizen oversight of the public and private sectors. We believe in the value of associational life and see the nurturing of strong, independent and democratic civil societies as a goal in and of itself. Grants seek to increase participation in public a≠airs beyond the act of voting while strengthening civil society organizations and the philanthropy that supports their endeavors. Another initiative focuses on grant making to foster philanthropy that contributes to social justice outcomes. Other work strengthens global civil society and the ability of transnational citizens’ coalitions to address public policy problems. Natalia Kanem, deputy to the vice president of the Peace and Social Justice program, oversees documentation and sharing of learning based on our work. One example is support for convenings involving sta≠ and grantees in Africa, Asia, Latin America and the United States who are working to advance economic, social and cultural rights. Peace and Social Justice sta≠ also participate in the cross-foundation Sexuality and Reproductive Health Learning Group, which commissions research and supports informational exchanges.

Knowledge, Creativity and Freedom alison r. bernstein, vice president
The Knowledge, Creativity and Freedom program works globally to advance achievement in the arts, education and scholarship as well as a positive understanding of sexuality. It also seeks to promote the media and religion as forces for democracy in a range of cultural contexts. This body of work, which is carried out by 28 program sta≠ in two units in New York and overseas, recognizes that knowledge and creativity are central to the richness of people’s lives and the progress of communities. It also a≤rms the importance of freedom to think and act critically, originally and responsibly in facilitating the building of more just and pluralistic societies.
The Faith and Joy Educational Association of Peru is helping rural girls like these finish the six grades of primary school, which less than half do now in many areas. Here girls from the Andean village of Tanto Maca practice traditional Quecha dances they will perform in the Day of the Campesinos festival. The foundation has for many years supported e≠orts to advance education for girls and women and also to preserve traditional arts and culture.

unit Education, Sexuality, Religion The Education, Sexuality, Religion unit, led by Janice Petrovich, director, and Cyrus Driver, deputy director, works in three fields: In Education and Scholarship we seek to increase educational access and quality for the disadvantaged, to educate new leaders and thinkers and to foster knowledge and curricula supportive of inclusion, development and civic life. Grant making supports policy, research and reform programs in both schools and higher education institutions, with particular emphasis on enhancing the performance of educational systems through improving finance, governance, accountability and training. Scholarship is supported to deepen understanding of such issues as gender, identity, pluralism and social change, as well as particular non-Western areas of the world and the relationships between them. Sexuality and Reproductive Health, a field addressed in all three of the foundation’s program divisions, supports e≠orts to build knowledge, develop policy and deepen public understanding of sexuality and its relationship to human fulfillment, culture, religion and identity.
2003
In Religion, Society and Culture we examine the role of religious traditions of the world in shaping social values, with the goal of strengthening the contribution of these traditions in creating just, healthy and pluralistic societies. Grant making also seeks to support the participation of historically marginalized groups in the interpretation of diverse religious and cultural traditions and to examine the moral resources they o≠er contemporary societies.
unit Media, Arts and Culture The Media, Arts and Culture unit, headed by Margaret B.Wilkerson, director, and Jon Funabiki, deputy director, seeks to strengthen the arts and media as important contributors to the communities and societies in which they function. The unit works in two fields to accomplish these goals: In Media our work strengthens free and responsible media that address important civic and social issues, and promotes policies and regulations that ensure media and information systems serve the public’s diverse constituencies and interests. In addition, we support high-quality productions that enrich public dialogue on such core issues as building democratic values and pluralism.
In Arts and Culture our goal is to increase opportunities for cultural and artistic expression for people of all backgrounds; to foster documentation, dissemination and transmission of both new and traditional creative art forms; to broaden audience involvement and access, and to improve the livelihoods of artists and their opportunity to contribute to civic life. David Chiel, deputy to the vice president of the Knowledge, Creativity and Freedom program, is responsible for helping sta≠ members worldwide work together to learn what is e≠ective and why, then share these lessons with foundation grantees and wider communities of interest.

Introduction to Financial Statements
Investments
The foundation’s investment portfolio was valued at $9.8 billion at the end of fiscal 2003 versus $9.1 billion at the close of fiscal 2002. The portfolio rate of return was 14.0 percent for the fiscal year, and 7.1 percent annualized for the five-year period and 10.1 percent annualized for the ten-year period. Equity markets around the world rebounded in fiscal 2003 after more than two and one-half years of market declines. The U.S. equity market, as measured by the Standard and Poor’s 500 Index, gained 24.4 percent for the fiscal year, while the foundation’s U.S. equity portfolios gained 22.0 percent. The issues of larger and more profitable companies, in general, did not perform as well during the year as smaller and more speculative issues. On the international side, the MSCI EAFE Index gained 26.0 percent for the fiscal year and the foundation’s international portfolios gained 31.7 percent. Our fixed income portfolios gained 7.1 percent, with the best returns from our international fixed income portfolio due to the strength of the European currencies, and our corporate bond portfolio, where the high yield segment did particularly well.

Total realized income, including capital gains, amounted to $230 million in fiscal 2003, compared with $109 million in fiscal 2002. Dividends and interest income totaled $261 million, or $28 million below fiscal 2002. Total program activities (primarily grants to organizations and individuals, direct charitable activities and program support) were $557 million, representing a decrease of $41 million over the previous year.

The trustees have earmarked up to $180 million of the corpus for these investments. The investments are in the form of debt or equity financing or loan guarantees. As of September 30, 2003, $128.9 million in investments and $26.5 million in funding commitments were in process. During the fiscal year, new PRI loan commitments of $19 million were made, and $12 million were disbursed. Principal repayments of $19.9 million and investment income of $1.3 million were received.

Federal Excise Tax and Payout Requirement
The Internal Revenue Code imposes on private foundations an excise tax equal to 2 percent on net investment income (principally interest, dividends and net realized capital gains, less expenses incurred in the production of investment income). This tax is reduced to 1 percent when the foundation meets certain distribution requirements. In fiscal 2003 the foundation was again able to satisfy the distribution requirement and thus reduce the excise tax from 2 percent to 1 percent by converting the tax savings into additional qualifying distributions (grant payments). For fiscal 2003 the tax is estimated to be $2.1 million, excluding the deferred portion of excise taxes resulting from unrealized appreciation/depreciation on investments. Since fiscal 1971 the foundation has incurred federal excise taxes of $231 million. The Internal Revenue Code also requires private foundations annually to disburse approximately 5 percent of the market value of investment assets, less the federal excise tax. The payout requirement may be satisfied by payments for grants, program-related investments, direct conduct of charitable activities and certain administrative expenses. The foundation had qualifying distributions of $552.4 million in fiscal 2003, exceeding the federally mandated payout requirement by $68.9 million. During the past five years the foundation has made $3.5 billion in qualifying distributions, exceeding the federally mandated payout requirement by $608 million.

Report of Independent Accountants
To the Board of Trustees of the Ford Foundation:
In our opinion, the accompanying statements of financial position and the related statements of activities and cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Ford Foundation at September 30, 2003 and September 30, 2002, and the changes in the net assets and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Ford Foundation’s management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Notes to Financial Statements September 30, 2003
Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The financial statements of the Ford Foundation (the Foundation) are prepared on the accrual basis. The significant 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 yields or prices of securities of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type as well as indications as to values from brokers and dealers. Short-term investments generally represent securities with maturity of 1 year or less and are valued at amortized cost. Limited marketability investments, representing amounts in venture capital and equity partnerships, are valued at the quoted market price for securities for which market quotations are readily available or an estimate of value (fair value) as determined in good faith by the general partner. Events a≠ecting the values of these limited marketability investments that occur between the time their prices are determined and the close of the Foundation’s fiscal year are reflected in the fair value when the particular event significantly a≠ects such net asset value. Transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Investment-related receivables and payables are included in the accompanying statements of financial position as part of investments at fair value. Realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments are determined by comparison of specific costs of acquisition (identified lot basis) to proceeds at the time of disposal, or market values at the last day of the fiscal year, respectively, and include the e≠ects of currency translation with respect to transactions and holdings of foreign securities. Dividends and interest are recognized when earned. Cash Consists of cash on hand and operating bank deposits. Program-Related Investments The Foundation invests in projects that advance
philanthropic purposes. These program-related investments are presented at net realizable value based on historical experience of these types of loans. Fixed Assets Land, buildings, furniture, equipment and leasehold improvements owned by the Foundation are recorded at cost. Depreciation is charged using the straight-line method based on estimated useful lives of the particular assets generally estimated as follows: buildings, principally 50 years, and furniture, equipment and leasehold improvements, 3 to 15 years.

2003
Expenditures and Appropriations Grant expenditures are considered incurred at the time of approval by the President of the Foundation. Uncommitted appropriations that have been approved by the Board of Trustees are included in appropriated unrestricted net assets. Taxes The Foundation qualifies as a tax-exempt organization under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and, accordingly, is not subject to federal income taxes. However, the Foundation is subject to a federal excise tax.
The Foundation follows the policy of providing for federal excise taxes on net appreciation (both realized and unrealized) on investments. The deferred provision for federal excise tax represents taxes provided on net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments. Risks and Uncertainties The Foundation uses estimates in preparing the financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles which require management to make estimates and assumptions. Actual results may di≠er from these estimates.The most significant estimates and assumptions relate to valuation of limited marketable securities, allowances for possible losses on program-related investments and employee benefit plans. Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities The Foundation records all derivative instruments, as defined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, at their fair value. The fair value adjustment is recorded directly to the invested asset and recognized as an unrealized gain or loss in the statements of activities. The Foundation only uses derivatives to help mitigate future foreign currency risks.

Included in investments at market are $317.3 million and $329.9 million of investment-related receivables and payables for pending transactions, respectively, in fiscal year 2003 and $170.8 million and $151.5 million in fiscal year 2002. The Foundation purchases and sells forward currency contracts whereby the Foundation agrees to exchange one currency for another on an agreed-upon date at an agreed-upon exchange rate to minimize the exposure of certain of its investments to adverse fluctuations in currency markets. As of September 30, 2003 and 2002, the Foundation had forward currency contracts with notional amounts totaling $305.8 million and $62.8 million, respectively. Such contracts involve, to varying degrees, risks of loss from the possible inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts. Changes in the value of forward currency contracts are recognized as unrealized gains or losses until such contracts are closed.

Note 4 – Provision for Federal Excise Tax
The Internal Revenue Code imposes an excise tax on private foundations equal to 2 percent of net investment income, which is defined as interest, dividends and net realized gains less operating and capital losses on partnership investments and expenses incurred in the production of income. The tax is reduced to 1 percent for foundations that meet certain distribution requirements. In fiscal years 2003 and 2002, the Foundation satisfied these requirements and is therefore eligible for the reduced tax. The provision for federal excise tax (based on a 1 percent rate in fiscal years 2003 and 2002) consists of a current provision on net investment income. A deferred excise tax provision is recognized on current net unrealized gains on investments. In fiscal year 2003 the Foundation incurred net unrealized losses, which reduced net unrealized gains.

The amount of excise taxes paid were $3.1 million and $1.5 million in fiscal years 2003 and 2002, respectively.
Note 5 – Retirement Plans
The Foundation’s defined benefit pension plans and the defined contribution plan cover substantially all New York appointed employees (sta≠ who are locally appointed by overseas o≤ces are covered by other retirement arrangements). Pension benefits generally depend upon age, length of service and salary level. The Foundation also provides retirees with at least five years of service and who are at least age 55 with nonpension postretirement benefits, which include medical, dental and life insurance. The defined benefit pension plans are annually funded in accordance with the minimum funding requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA).The nonpension postretirement benefits are not funded by the Foundation. On July 31, 2003, the Foundation suspended contributions to its existing defined benefit Cash Balance Plan (the “Original CBP”) and on August 1, 2003 established a new Cash Balance Plan (the “New CBP”). Plan participants retained the right to benefits accrued under the Original CBP and were provided an initial credit in the New CBP based on an enhanced benefit to be provided from the New CBP. Participant benefits under the New CBP for the period subsequent to July 31, 2003 are earned and funded in substantially the same manner as the Original CBP.

Note 6 – Contingencies, Commitments and Guarantees
The Foundation is involved in several legal actions. The Foundation believes it has defenses for all such claims, believes the claims are substantially without merit, and is vigorously defending the actions. In the opinion of management, the final disposition of these matters will not have a material e≠ect on the Foundation’s financial position. As part of its program-related investment activities, the Foundation is committed to provide $26,500,000 of loans to not-for-profit organizations once certain conditions are met. Further, as part of its investment management activity, the Foundation is committed to additional funding of $457,276,000 in private equity commitments.

Guidelines for Grant Seekers
Grants and Program-Related Investments to Organizations Before a request is made for a grant or program-related investment, a brief letter of inquiry is advisable to determine whether the foundation’s present interests and funds permit consideration of the request. The letter should include:
A The purpose of the project for which funds are being requested A Problems and issues the proposed project will address A Information about the organization conducting the project A Estimated overall budget for the project A Period of time for which funds are requested A Qualifications of those who will be engaged in the project After receiving the letter, foundation sta≠ members may ask the grant seeker to submit a formal proposal. There is no grant application form. The proposal should include:
A The organization’s current budget A A description of the proposed work and how it will be conducted A The names and curricula vitae of those engaged in the project A A detailed project budget A Present means of support and status of applications to other funding sources A Legal and tax status In some instances, the foundation requires the grantee organization to match the foundation’s grant with funds from other sources. The foundation supports pluralism and equal opportunity in its grant making and in its internal policies. The opportunities that prospective grantee organizations provide for minorities and women are considered in evaluating proposals. Applications are considered throughout the year. Normally applicants may expect to receive within six weeks an indication of whether their proposals are within the foundation’s program interests and budget limitations. Activities supported by grants and program-related investments must be charitable, educational or scientific, as defined under the appropriate provisions of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code and Treasury Regulations. The foundation monitors grants through regular financial and narrative reports submitted by the grantee.
GUIDLINES FOR GRANT SEEKERS
The foundation’s funds are limited in relation to the great number of worthwhile proposals received. For example, in 2003 the foundation received about 40,000 grant requests and made 2,510 grants. Of that number, 22 percent were first-time grant recipients. The foundation directs its support to activities that are within its current interests and are likely to have wide e≠ect. Support is not normally given for routine operating costs of institutions or for religious activities. Except in rare cases, funding is not available for the construction or maintenance of buildings. Requests in the United States should be sent to: Secretary The Ford Foundation 320 East 43rd Street New York, N.Y. 10017 or e-mailed to: O≤
[email protected] Outside the United States, requests should be directed to the nearest foundation o≤ce. See page 13 for locations of overseas o≤ces. Requests for support of projects in Eastern and Central Europe should be sent to the foundation’s New York headquarters.
Grants to Individuals Most of the foundation’s grant funds are given to organizations. Although it also makes grants to individuals, they are few in number relative to demand and are limited to research, training and other activities related to its program interests. The foundation does not award undergraduate scholarships or make grants for purely personal needs. Support for graduate fellowships is generally provided through grants to universities and other organizations, which are responsible for the selection of recipients. Most foundation grants to individuals are awarded either through publicly announced competitions or on the basis of nominations from universities and other nonprofit institutions. In all cases, recipients are selected on the merits of their proposals and on their potential contribution to advancing the foundation’s program objectives.

GrantCraft
GrantCraft is a source of practical wisdom for grant makers on the tools and techniques of e≠ective grant making. A project of the Ford Foundation, it o≠ers guides, videos and case studies that present the practitioner’s view of philanthropy, on subjects like:
A practice and methods that make grants more e≠ective, A insights into relations between grantees and grant makers, A lessons about how to organize grant-making work for best results. Good grant making is not just a matter of being an expert in your field of interest. There’s a craft that’s specific to making e≠ective grants—with tools and skills developed over many years, by many people, in many kinds of grant programs. GrantCraft collects this experience in a series of brief guides, videos and DVDs, featuring the firsthand, practical wisdom of a wide range of grant makers. GrantCraft began at the Ford Foundation with a kernel of case studies and examples that had long served as orientation materials for new program o≤cers. From there, starting in October 2001, GrantCraft has sought out hundreds of grant makers and grantees from other organizations to add examples and insights of their own, share successes and disappointments and draw lessons from what they’ve done and observed. A team of consultants and writers has organized this information into a variety of formats designed for self-study or workshops— all aimed at helping grant makers work more e≠ectively in whatever field or community they support.
