has-h5-variant">Edsel Ford</h2> <p class="has-paragraph-variant">Henry’s son, who became president of the Ford Motor Company and later established the Ford Foundation</p> </div> </div> <p class="">In 1936, Edsel Ford—son of Henry, the founder of the Ford Motor Company—established the Ford Foundation with an initial gift of $25,000. During its early years, the foundation operated in Michigan under the leadership of Ford family members. Since the founding charter stated that resources should be used for “scientific, educational and charitable purposes, all for the public welfare,” the foundation made grants to many kinds of organizations.</p> <p class="">After Edsel and Henry died in the mid-1940s, their bequests turned the foundation into the largest philanthropy in the world. Henry Ford II, Edsel’s eldest son, assumed leadership of the foundation, and he and the board of trustees commissioned a blue-ribbon panel, led by H. Rowan Gaither, to explore how the foundation could best put its greatly increased resources to use.</p> <p class="">The seven-member Gaither Study Committee recommended that the Ford Foundation become an international philanthropy dedicated to the advancement of human welfare through reducing poverty and promoting democratic values, peace, and educational opportunity. In 1949, the trustees unanimously approved the panel’s ambitious recommendations. Over the next decades, Henry Ford II remained a key figure in the foundation, serving as president and as chair and member of the board of trustees and overseeing its transformation from a local Detroit foundation to a national and international organization. He retired as a trustee in 1976.</p> <p class="">In 1953, the trustees decided that to fulfill its expanded mission, the foundation should base its operations in New York. The foundation leased space in the city until 1967, when construction of a headquarters building was completed. That iconic building, designed by Kevin Roche John Dinkeloo and Associates, was later designated a landmark.</p> <p class="">The foundation is an independent organization, led by a distinguished board of trustees whose 16 members hail from four continents and bring leadership and expertise in a wide range of disciplines. Today we are stewards of a $16 billion endowment, making $500 million in grants around the world every year. Led by Darren Walker, our 10th president, we remain committed to our enduring mission—and to our legacy of bold, creative support for social change.</p> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Presidents</h2> <div class="wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex"> <div class="wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow"> <div class="wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile is-vertically-aligned-top is-style-default" style="margin-top:0;margin-right:0;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30);padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30);grid-template-columns:20% auto"><figure class="wp-block-media-text__media"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="500" height="500" src="https://www.fordfoundation.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/Our_origins_Edsel-Ford.jpg?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-92564 size-medium" srcset="https://www.fordfoundation.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/Our_origins_Edsel-Ford.jpg 500w, https://www.fordfoundation.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/Our_origins_Edsel-Ford.jpg?resize=150,150 150w, https://www.fordfoundation.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/Our_origins_Edsel-Ford.jpg?resize=300,300 300w, https://www.fordfoundation.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/Our_origins_Edsel-Ford.jpg?resize=400,400 400w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px" /></figure><div class="wp-block-media-text__content"> <h3 class="wp-block-heading has-h5-variant">Edsel Ford, 1936 – 1943</h3> <p class="has-small-variant">President of the Ford Motor Company and son of company founder Henry Ford, Edsel Ford created the Ford Foundation in 1936 at the age of 43 to “receive and administer funds for scientific, educational and charitable purposes, all for the public welfare.” An auto visionary in his own right, he also had deep interest in the arts and humanities.
