The Ford
Foundation is a resource for innovative people and
institutions worldwide. Their goals are to strengthen democratic
values, reduce poverty and injustice, promote international
cooperation and advance human achievement. The Asset Building
and Community Development programme helps strengthen and increase
the effectiveness of people and organizations working to find
solutions to problems of poverty and injustice.
Thirty-six
program staff in the Asset Building and Community Development
programme focus grant resources on the fields in two program
units in New York and abroad. They 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 effective ways. Grants support vibrant social movements,
institutions and partnerships that analyse contemporary social
and economic needs and devise responses to them.
