More About Ford Motor Company

Shortly after Henry Ford began his enterprise in 1903, he said, "A business that makes nothing but money is a poor business." He was referring to the obligation of companies, not only to create good products for their customers, but also to share good works and goodwill. That is precisely the goal of Ford Motor Company Fund and Community Services—to support initiatives and institutions that enhance and improve opportunities for those who live in the communities where Ford Motor Company operates.
