Today, on #MLKDay, inspired by Dr. King’s vision of a fairer, more just world, join us to commit to combating inequality. Learn how The Martin Luther King, Jr. Center is working to create what Dr. King described as the #BelovedCommunity—a just and equitable world for all.

Please join me to celebrate the release of my dear friend @Ava Duvernay’s film, @ORIGINTheMovie, in theaters tomorrow. Ford Foundation is extremely proud to support ARRAY in bringing the powerful ideas of Isabel Wilkerson’s book, #Caste, to life. youtube.com/watch?v=ytUyrT…

#Breaking: Proud to announce our recent funding for independent film projects via #JustFilms! One of the largest documentary funds in the world, JustFilms provided over $4.2M to support 59 films focused on social justice in the US and Global South.

“No matter how long you've been gone from #Detroit, Detroit should always be a part of you— and you should always find ways to support your people.” Senior program officer Kevin Ryan shares photos of our Motor City grantee partners and explains these leaders’ impact.

Funding to Indigenous organizations remains insufficient, inequitable, and inflexible. Donors, including Ford, must do better to ensure that frontline communities have more access to direct funding. insidephilanthropy.com/home/2024/1/24…
