Overview
<p>The Ford Foundation is always open to new ideas, and we welcome your input. We believe in the inherent dignity of all people. Yet around the world, billions of people are excluded from full participation in the political, economic, and cultural systems that shape their lives. We view this fundamental inequality as the defining challenge of our time, one that limits the potential of all people, everywhere. Addressing inequality is at the center of everything we do.</p> <p>Failure to invest in and protect vital public goods such as education drives inequality. The Ford Foundations “Youth Opportunity and Learning” program asks for grant funding ideas regarding Pathways for Youth Success and Next Generation Leadership.</p>
Solicitation Limitations: <p>You will need to describe your idea to someone in 30 seconds or less (50 words or less) and be given a slightly larger space for a more in depth description of your idea (250 words or less).</p> Other Information:<p>How we work is as important as what we work on. Throughout our history, the foundation’s approach has been characterized by a continuous emphasis on building institutions and networks, investing in individuals and leadership, and supporting new ideas. These are our three I’s.</p> <p>Deadline is arbitrary. Proposals are accepted on a rolling basis. </p>Last Updated:
