About Us
At The Ford Foundation, our journey began with a simple yet profound vision: to create a community where every individual, regardless of their circumstances, has the opportunity to thrive and succeed. Founded in 2023, our organization was born out of a deep sense of compassion and a desire to make a meaningful difference in the lives of those facing adversity.
We aspire to become a cornerstone of support and inspiration for single parent families and aspiring healthcare workers in our community. As we lay the foundation for our mission, we are driven by a growing commitment to expand and refine our programs and services to effectively meet the evolving needs of those we aim to assist.
At the heart of everything we do are our core values:
Compassion.
We believe in approaching every individual with empathy, kindness, and understanding, recognizing the inherent dignity and worth of each person we encounter.
Empowerment.
We are dedicated to empowering those we serve to overcome obstacles, achieve their goals, and realize their full potential, fostering independence, resilience, and self-sufficiency.
Collaboration.
We understand that creating meaningful change requires the collective effort of many. That's why we actively seek out partnerships and collaborations with like-minded organizations, volunteers, and supporters who share our vision and values.
Integrity.
We uphold the highest standards of honesty, transparency, and accountability in all aspects of our work, ensuring that every action we take is guided by integrity and ethical conduct.
As we look to the future, we remain steadfast in our commitment to making a positive impact in the lives of those we serve. Together, we can build a brighter, more inclusive community where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.
Our mission is clear: to offer unwavering support and assistance to single parents and their children while also investing in the future of healthcare professionals through scholarships for aspiring nursing students. Through a range of programs and services, we strive to foster independence, resilience, and hope for those in need.
Support for Single Parents
We understand the challenges that single parents face in balancing work, childcare, and financial responsibilities. That's why we offer a range of services tailored to their needs, including housing assistance, educational support, and access to essential resources.
Scholarships and Educational Opportunities
We believe in the power of education to transform lives. Our scholarship programs provide single parents, their children, and nursing students with access to higher education and vocational training, empowering them to build brighter futures for themselves and their families.
Beyond direct assistance, we are committed to building a strong sense of community among single parents and healthcare professionals. Through outreach events, support groups, and social activities, we create opportunities for connection, camaraderie, and mutual support.
Community Outreach
We believe a healthy community starts with access—to opportunity, to education, and to care. We provide scholarships to aspiring nursing and healthcare students, helping eliminate the financial barriers that often stand in the way. By empowering these future caregivers, we’re not only changing individual lives, we’re strengthening the future of healthcare in our communities.
