	Who Rules America: The Ford Foundation in the Inner City
		This is the story of the Ford Foundation's involvement in the inner city, which began back in 1955 when it financed a program to smooth the way for the expansion of downtowns into low-income neighborhoods through urban renewal.
		Although the Ford Foundation was officially incorporated in 1936, it was just a hollow shell, giving occasional grants in Detroit to the Ford family's favorite charities, until it received a huge portion of Henry Ford's estate after his death in 1947.
		In the late 1960s the Ford Foundation and its corporate and foundation allies also became involved with community organizations that were trying to help inner-city neighborhoods in still other ways, such as by forcing slumlords to repair their buildings and city officials to clean up the streets and playgrounds.

		When the time comes for a historian to write a definitive history of foundations in the 20th century, at least one chapter will have to be set aside for the activities of the Ford Foundation in the 1960s.
		Ford money proved to be a catalyst that pushed environmental groups away from their traditional conservationist goals and towards an environmentalism grounded in regulation by an ever-expanding State.
		Overall, the foundation believed that in welfare and education programs, it was a good idea to devolve power and funding to communities, a process known as "community control." But to advance this goal, Ford often funded nonprofits that made matters worse.

	Guidelines for Grant Seekers
		The foundation directs its support to activities that are within its current interests and are likely to have wide effect.
		Ford’s trustees and staff try to advance human welfare by making grants to develop new ideas or strengthen key organizations that address poverty and injustice, and also promote democratic values, international cooperation and human achievement.
		Ford staff members understand that the work the foundation and its grantees undertake together is difficult, that success often results from multiple efforts over a long period, and that setbacks are likely.

		The Ford Foundation has no ties to the Dearborn-based automaker, though it was the company's largest shareholder until diversifying its holdings in a complex transaction that culminated in Ford Motor becoming a public company in 1956.
		Organizational papers say the Ford Foundation's purpose was to "receive and administer funds for scientific, education and charitable purposes, all for the public welfare." There is no mention of special consideration for Detroit or Michigan charities or institutions founded by Henry Ford.
		Foundation board Chairwoman Kathryn Fuller was CEO of the World Wildlife Fund for 16 years until she stepped down in January 2005.

	The Birth of a Nation - MALDEF - La Raza - Ford Foundation
		During the past two decades, the Ford Foundation has concentrated on programs for the expansion of Hispanic political mobilization, litigation to "clarify the rights" of immigrants, and research on immigration and reform legislation.
		Ford also looked to the urban areas of Southern California, where illegal immigration was increasing but was, as yet, still a sleeping issue.
		To compliment efforts by MALDEF and the ACLU, the Ford Foundation launched a new program in 1982 on behalf of refugees and immigrants aimed at strengthening public and private agencies that assist them, clarifying their rights and responsibilities under domestic and international law.

	The Billions of Dollars That Made Things Worse by Heather Mac Donald, City Journal Autumn 1996
		Ford was the first—but far from the last—foundation to conceive of itself explicitly as a laboratory for the federal welfare state.
		Foundations have used litigation to create and expand the iron trap of bilingual education; they have funded the perversion of the Voting Rights Act into a costly instrument of apartheid; and they lie behind the transformation of due-process rights into an impediment to, rather than a guarantor of, justice.
		Foundation support for such socially disruptive litigation makes a mockery of the statutory prohibition on lobbying, since foundations can effect policy changes in the courts, under the officially approved banner of “public interest litigation,” that are every bit as dramatic as those that could be achieved in the legislature.

		The quip going around nonprofit circles these days is that the Ford Foundation's support for Palestinian extremists is the one area of funding it could defend on the grounds of donor intent--an allusion to the notorious anti-Semitism of automaker and founder Henry Ford.
		Not least of the perverse incentives here is a provision in the tax code--one that Ford lobbied hard to preserve--that allows foundations to count office expenses against the 5% of their assets they are required to give out each year to charity.
		Foundations are a growing part of U.S. life and are playing an ever larger role in political debate.

		One of the most disturbing realities in American society today is that the Ford Foundation, which is supposed to represent the love of America and of American values, finances the far Left. Ford is especially financially generous, for instance, to radical entities such as the anti-War, neo-Com movement.
		The Foundation will pass the funding along to the Tides Center, which will manage the organization, including hiring program and support staff, providing office space, financial management, employee benefits and legal advice; all for an 8 percent fee.
		The Foundation began the Tides 9/11 Fund to "promote a just and peaceful national response" to the attacks, dispersing over half a million dollars so far to such groups as the New York Gay and Lesbian Anti-Violence Project, to provide technical assistance to gay/lesbian/transgender Arab-American groups.
