The Ford Foundation supports visionary leaders and organizations on the frontlines of social change worldwide. We believe all people should have the opportunity to reach their full potential, contribute to society, and have voice in the decisions that affect them. We believe the best way to achieve these goals 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 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. We work mainly by making grants or loans that build knowledge and strengthen organizations and networks. Since our financial resources are modest compared with societal needs, we focus on key problem areas and program strategies. Created with gifts and bequests by Edsel and Henry Ford, the foundation is an independent, nonprofit, nongovernmental organization, with its own board, and is entirely separate from the Ford Motor Company. The trustees of the foundation 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 and Latin America explore opportunities to pursue the foundation`s goals, formulate strategies and recommend proposals for funding.

Creative Visions Foundation uses the power of media to inform, inspire and empower. CVF supports "Creative Activists", people who use media and the arts to inform others about critical social, economic and humanitarian issues and inspire their audience to create positive change in the world. We do this by providing grants, fiscal sponsorship and mentorship programs. CVF Creative Activists are distinct in that they do not simply use their creative skills to identify a problem, but they identify possible solutions and inspire those that view or interact with their projects to action through a set of clear actionable steps that can be taken by individuals and organizations to address the issue at hand. In addition, Creative Visions Foundation has a production division run by Jacoba Atlas, former Senior VP of Programming at PBS, which produces documentaries, films and television series focused on informing people about relevant issues impacting the world today. Young people play a central role in communicating a message of hope and social responsibility which underscores the Creative Visions Foundation purpose. Creative Visions Foundation was inspired by the life of Dan Eldon - artist, adventurer and activist - who was killed in 1993 while on assignment for Reuters News Agency in Somalia. The Creative Visions Foundation is a dedication and continuation of his philosophy: to reach beyond oneself and touch the lives of others with creativity and passion.
