"The procedures and philosophy of the Ford Foundation are outlined in this book, which reviews the past and present practices of the philanthropic organization and illustrates the processes through which more than $1,000,000 in funding support is annually dispensed. Case studies are presented that reflect the vast extent of the foundation's interests in social, economic, and educational issues, including reports of educational programs, urban topics, civil rights, the arts, and disarmament. Specific case studies describe the following: reproductive biology; issues in education (graduate education, urban research and training, public policy programs, international studies, and business education); legal defense for the poor; arms control; oversell of instructional television; community development; federal executive training; resident theaters/ballet companies; American studies in Europe: expanding the concept of cooperative education; housing; school finance reform; European management education; international language programs; civil rights litigation; and social science development in Latin America. Appended are a selected chronology of the Ford Foundation, a list of fields of foundation activity, annual program expenditures, and expenditures by field. (Lbh)."@en
"This report originated in a request to me from the Board of Trustees of the Ford Foundation in the summer of 1975. The trustees, aware that there would be a change of leadership at the Foundation be fore 1980, wanted to make a running start in the process of plan ning for the future. Their first step was to make a study of the great national and international needs that might lie ahead in the next decade and a half, and where and how the Foundation might ad dress them. They sought advice both within the Foundation and outside it, and they engaged in long discussions of their own. Although the exercise was directed toward planning for the future, the trustees also wished to review our past, not exhaus tively but at least well enough to have a clear sense of what the Foundation had been up to in the quarter century of its existence as a national and international institution. In this connection, the chairman of our board, Alexander Heard, asked for /I a canvass of the Ford Foundation's experiences, successes, and failures during the last twenty-five years . . . [focused] on the broad objectives sought, the means pursued to achieve them, and the results."
