Communications

In pursuit of its mission around the world, the Ford Foundation’s grant-making activities generate ideas as well as social change. The list is long. A few examples are: constructive ways to promote more democratic societies; new ideas for education reform; and innovative approaches to improving the lives of the poor. The O≤ce of Communications’ goal is to make sure the best of these ideas are

Communications sta≠ are a resource for journalists, giving them information about the foundation and making available the expertise of our program sta≠. The o≤ce also works with program o≤cers to develop communications plans to inform public debate and to help grantees strengthen their own communications e≠orts.

The president is a member of the board of trustees and is responsible for implementing policy set by the board, overseeing the foundation’s program and operations and representing the foundation to the public. I have worked at the foundation for more than 30 years, beginning as a research assistant and going on to hold a succession of jobs related to the foundation’s U.S. and international work. Since I became president in April 1996, my priorities have

been to support ambitious programs fostering democratic values, economic well-being, peace, cultural expression and educational achievement. We have worked to create partnerships with grantees that emphasize joint learning and reflection. We have made it a priority to communicate what we are learning to broad audiences, and to build a sta≠ with diverse backgrounds and skills. As our assets have grown, another priority has been to put significant resources behind promising ideas. The largest of these is the International Fellowships Program. Over 12 years it will enable 3,300 talented community leaders outside the United States—who would otherwise have no possibility of pursuing graduate study—to spend up to three years at any university in the world. This is a $280-million investment in local leaders from disadvantaged communities who could later emerge on the national, regional or world stage. In addition to overseeing Ford’s operations, I spend time with people in other organizations concerned with public issues on which the foundation works. I try to understand di≠erent perspectives on these issues and to continually examine what Ford is doing, how we might do it better and what we might do in the future. I also spend time on a variety of e≠orts to strengthen philanthropy’s performance, legal compliance and transparency.

President’s Letter

This annual report presents the Ford Foundation’s governance, administration, investment management and worldwide grant making for 2004. Our e≠orts and resources support idealistic men and women pursuing justice and democratic values, freedom and security, opportunity and human dignity. Throughout the report—on each rust-colored page—you will find questions and answers that explain how the foundation’s trustees and sta≠ go about this work. In 2004 the U.S. nonprofit community, including foundations, was the subject of Congressional discussions about the best ways to provide oversight for this growing and increasingly important sector. (Our own governance policies and practices can be found at www.fordfound.org.) As those discussions proceed, the Ford Foundation will continue to be a resource to policy makers. We o≠er the perspective of a large foundation working both in the United States and overseas, dedicated to humane values and to innovations that can reduce human su≠ering and promote fairness and freedom worldwide. In 2004 Paul Allaire left the foundation’s board after seven years of service as a trustee, including four years of distinguished leadership as Chair of the board. I am deeply grateful to him for his clear thinking and warmth, his vigorous engagement with all aspects of Ford’s work globally and his wise guidance as Ford addressed a variety of challenges. Kathryn Fuller succeeded Paul as Chair of our board, and she brings extensive experience in government and global civil society, excellence in leadership and knowledge of Ford’s grant-making priorities and programs around the world.

Susan V. Berresford President

The Ford Foundation was established by Henry Ford in 1936 with an initial gift of $25,000. During its early years, the foundation operated in Michigan under the leadership of the Ford family. Since its charter stated that its resources should be used “all for the public welfare,” the foundation made grants to many di≠erent kinds of organizations. After the deaths of Edsel Ford in 1943 and Henry in 1947, their bequests of Ford Motor Company stock significantly expanded

the foundation’s holdings and income available for grant making. This led the Ford family to appoint H. Rowan Gaither, a San Francisco lawyer, to lead a seven-man team of experts to chart a new course for the future. The team’s report, approved in 1950 by the foundation’s trustees, who included members of the Ford family, recommended that the foundation become a national and international philanthropy dedicated to the advancement of human welfare. Perhaps most significant, the foundation declared its intention to focus on solving humankind’s most pressing problems, whatever they might be, rather than to work in any particular field, which was the more traditional and accepted approach for foundations. The report set forth five broad program areas: the establishment of peace, the strengthening of democracy, the strengthening of the economy, education in a democratic society, and individual behavior and human relations. Since then, Ford’s grant making has followed the broad goals articulated by the Gaither team. Its report noted that the board should be free to change its goals should other needs arise. The foundation’s funds have come from growth in the original investment and later conversion of these holdings to a diversified portfolio, now managed as described in the Financial Review, which begins on page 151. In 1993, in response to trustee suggestions that the foundation create a mission statement outlining the foundation’s goals and the values that guide its work, trustees and sta≠ together crafted the document opposite.

Mission Statement

The Ford Foundation is a resource for innovative people and institutions worldwide. Our goals are to: Strengthen democratic values, Reduce poverty and injustice, Promote international cooperation and Advance human achievement.

This has been our purpose for more than half a century. A fundamental challenge facing every society is to create political, economic and social systems that promote peace, human welfare and the sustainability of the environment on which life depends. We believe that the best way to meet this challenge is to encourage initiatives by those living and working closest to where problems are located; to promote collaboration among the nonprofit, government and business sectors; and to ensure participation by men and women from diverse communities and at all levels of society. In our experience, such activities help build common understanding, enhance excellence, enable people to improve their lives and reinforce their commitment to society. The Ford Foundation is one source of support for these activities. We work mainly by making grants or loans that build knowledge and strengthen organizations and networks. Since our financial resources are modest in comparison to societal needs, we focus on a limited number of problem areas and program strategies within our broad goals. Founded in 1936, the foundation operated as a local philanthropy in the state of Michigan until 1950, when it expanded to become a national and international foundation. Since its inception it has been an independent, nonprofit, nongovernmental organization. It has provided more than $12 billion for grants, projects and loans. These funds derive from an investment portfolio that began with gifts and bequests of Ford Motor Company stock by Henry and Edsel Ford. The foundation no longer owns Ford Motor Company stock, and its diversified portfolio is managed to provide a perpetual source of support for the foundation’s programs and operations. The trustees of the foundation set policy and delegate authority to the president and senior sta≠ for the foundation’s grant making and operations. Program o≤cers in the United States, Africa, the Middle East, Asia, Latin America and Russia explore opportunities to pursue the foundation’s goals, formulate strategies and recommend proposals for funding.

Currently the board of the Ford Foundation has 14 trustees, 10 from the United States and four who are citizens of other countries around the world. They are selected for their experience as leaders in communities and fields in which the foundation works. Nominated by a trustee committee and appointed by the full board, trustees generally serve two six-year terms. They set policies relating to spending, management, governance, professional standards, investment, grant making and

geographic focus. They represent the foundation before the public, select the president, review the performance and set the compensation of all of the o≤cers and review internal and independent audits. The board generally does not approve grants. Rather, it delegates that authority to the president and other sta≠ members, and then reviews the approved actions at regular board meetings. In addition to attending meetings, trustees are also called on for various informal consultations and problem-solving assistance during the year. We estimate that on average, our trustees spend about 15 days a year helping to guide the Ford Foundation. They are paid a retainer and meeting fee for board service.

The trustees meet three times a year for two days and travel for an additional period each year to meet grant recipients and see their work at first hand. The full board’s meetings involve committee and plenary sessions, often including discussions with grantees or other guests. The responsibilities of the board committees cover the full range of the foundation’s activities— grant making, investments and management. A five-person executive committee works with the foundation’s executive o≤cers between board meetings. The governance practices of the trustees are described in a set of documents—including bylaws, committee charters, code of ethics and standards of independence—that have been adopted by the board and posted on the foundation’s Web site. Under these documents, a majority of the trustees must be “independent” (i.e. satisfy the standards of independence) and all of the members of the audit committee and the membership (nominating) committee must be independent. The members of the audit committee must also satisfy additional “super-independence”requirements. All proposed grants to organizations with which a foundation trustee is a≤liated as a trustee, o≤cer or employee are subject to review and approval by the audit committee. The foundation has an annual process to evaluate the performance of the board, board committees and individual trustees.

In 1950, in anticipation of significant asset growth, a committee appointed by Henry Ford II and chaired by H. Rowan Gaither, a distinguished lawyer from San Francisco, set out a broad framework for the Ford Foundation’s work. The committee’s conclusions, known as the Gaither Report, expanded the foundation’s mission to work internationally as well as in the United States in pursuit of economic stability, peace and democracy.

Why are we a global foundation?

Since 1950, in order to be near the people and organizations we support, the Ford Foundation has maintained overseas o≤ces sta≠ed by a mix of local and foreign nationals. About half of our sta≠ work at the foundation’s headquarters in New York and the rest are overseas in 12 o≤ces in Africa, Asia, Latin America and Russia. The foundation’s grant-making programs in Israel and in Eastern Europe are administered by philanthropic partners with o≤ces in those regions.

Strengthening the Nonprofit Sector

As the number of nonprofit organizations in the United States and in many parts of the world continues to grow, foundations are increasingly recognizing the need to strengthen the sector as a whole. The Ford Foundation approaches this challenge through a set of grants to intermediary organizations that provide assistance to the nonprofit field. This line of grant making aims to improve accountability among nonprofit groups, and, ultimately, to help sustain public confidence in their work. Most of the grants are made by the foundation’s Governance and Civil Society unit. Examples include:

A Independent Sector and the Council on Foundations, which engage their memberships in e≠orts to promote organizational accountability and work with policy makers and the media to advocate for the sector. A The National Council of Nonprofit Associations, which o≠ers technical assistance on nonprofit management and group rates on the purchase of equipment. A Guidestar, which provides a Web-based database of IRS information returns (Form 990’s) to allow easy public access to the financial and governance records of nonprofits. A The Alliance for Justice, which o≠ers advice to nonprofit organizations and foundation sta≠s on laws regulating advocacy. A BoardSource, which produces publications on the development of boards of trustees and organizes conference calls on technical assistance. A Idealist.org, a Web site that specializes in human resources training to strengthen the ability of nonprofit organizations to better manage and support their employees. A Maryland Association of Nonprofit Organizations, which o≠ers a voluntary certification program aimed at strengthening ethics and accountability within the state’s nonprofit sector. In addition, a number of the Ford Foundation’s o≤ces overseas support e≠orts that focus on nongovernmental organizations’ financial accountability to donors and their legal accountability to governments. Another set of grants seeks to foster accountability among NGOs that operate in the global arena. These lines of work are based on the assumption that strong democratic societies require the rights and responsibilities of all its actors to be well-defined and rigorously monitored. Examples include:

strengthening the nonprofit sector

A The Institute of Economic and Social Research, known as LP3ES, in Indonesia, which established an association of NGOs to promote professional standards as well as a national code of ethics. A ActionAid Asia, which works with NGO networks in the region to pilot promising accountability methodologies, including their responsibilities to the people and communities that they serve. A One World Trust, a London-based group that has created a global framework to assess NGOs’ accountability using an index that gauges a group’s openness and receptivity to internal and external demands, among other criteria. Another way the foundation seeks to strengthen the sector is through support of the GrantCraft project, which provides grant makers with practical wisdom on the tools and techniques of e≠ective grant making. GrantCraft began in 2001 from a collection of case studies to orient Ford Foundation program o≤cers. Since then the project has interviewed hundreds of grant makers from other foundations to collect lessons from their experiences, as well as from grant seekers and users. The resulting materials, designed for self-study and workshops, have been used in trustee and sta≠ orientations, in grant-making association meetings and in university courses on philanthropy. Guides in this series include “Scanning the Landscape: Finding Out What’s Going on in Your Field,”“Working with the Business Sector: Pursuing Public Good with Private Partners” and “When Projects Flounder: Coming to the Rescue When Good Grants Go Astray.” Videos, which include topics such as “Scaling Up Successful Work,” can be ordered on DVD, viewed online on GrantCraft’s Web site or at Foundation Center libraries in Atlanta, Cleveland, New York, San Francisco and Washington. All materials can be ordered or downloaded at www.grantcraft.org.

Ford Foundation by the Numbers

The foundation’s budget and spending policies are designed so that the foundation will continue to address major societal issues worldwide for many years to come. Most of the problems the foundation addresses require long-term attention, steady engagement and periodic adjustments to correct what is not working. The foundation also gains special expertise by sticking with problems over time. In order to pursue multiyear programs and strategies, the foundation tries to invest and budget in ways that produce relatively smooth spending patterns, while preserving the value of the investment portfolio. Ford’s board of trustees approves program and operational budgets on a twoyear basis, appropriating one year’s funding at a time. This enables program, administrative and investment sta≠ to plan ahead with a reasonable degree of certainty. The size of the two-year budget takes into account three considerations: the need to satisfy the U. S. federal payout requirement (the obligation to disburse annually about 5 percent of the average value of the investment portfolio); the objective of preserving the value of the endowment for longterm charitable funding; and program needs and opportunities. The program approval totals shown on the chart opposite reflect the grants and programrelated investments made in all Ford o≤ces during the last fiscal year. Funds are drawn on allocations made at the outset of the budget period, as well as from the general reserve, an annual set-aside of between 10 and 20 percent of the budget. This reserve is controlled by the trustees. It is used for grants when markets are steady or rising but held (in whole or part) and not used in declining markets. The general reserve has been the source of very large grants that sta≠ recommend within their program areas but cannot be accommodated within regular budget allocations. Occasionally, when an opportunity is particularly compelling, the trustees have gone beyond the general reserve and drawn even more funds from the investment portfolio to fund especially large and appealing initiatives. At the end of 2000, for example, a $280-million grant launched a new 12-year academic fellowships program for promising community leaders in developing countries in many parts of the world.

The level of program spending by the foundation is related to the value of the endowment. Chart 1 shows this relationship starting in 1970 and indicates how, in recent years, program spending has exceeded the growth in investment portfolio values. Since the budget is based on several considerations, the foundation does not necessarily limit its spending to the amount needed to meet the payout requirement. In fact, as chart 2 shows, the foundation generally spends more than required. In the last six years, the foundation’s payout has averaged 6.1 percent. Since the early 1970’s it has been the policy of the foundation to try to preserve the real (inflation-adjusted) value of the endowment. The di≤culty of achieving this—particularly if spending exceeds the payout requirement on a regular basis—is reflected in chart 3. This chart shows the value of the endowment since 1970 in both real and nominal terms. As indicated, even with the bull market of the 1980’s and 1990’s, the foundation has not made up for the erosion of the investment portfolio in the 1970’s. Over the 35-year period covered by the chart, the foundation disbursed $11.6 billion.

Ford’s trustees and sta≠ try to advance human welfare by making grants to develop new ideas or strengthen key organizations that address poverty and injustice, and also promote democratic values, international cooperation and human achievement. Within these broad aims, we focus our grants on the fields noted on pages 26, 60 and 104. We believe that if we scatter our funds over too many types of work, we will not be able to help the number and variety of people necessary to create lasting change in any one area. Working in these selected fields also enables us to link grantees in one part of the world with those working elsewhere for their mutual benefit, knowledge and inspiration. Since each overseas o≤ce of the foundation lacks su≤cient money to make grants in all fields, sta≠ and trustees select from the 12 fields, guided by national and community leaders’ sense of funding needs and opportunities for innovation. Once the board approves work in a substantive or geographic area, program sta≠ consult broadly with practitioners, researchers, policy makers and others to identify foundation initiatives that might contribute to progress, specific work grantees would undertake, benchmarks for change, and costs. When the program o≤cer has completed this analysis, he or she presents the ideas in a memorandum reviewed by peers, a supervisor and at least two foundation o≤cers. When approved, the program o≤cer begins to make grants within the broad parameters of the approved memorandum and a two-year budget allocation. Grant-making sta≠ are encouraged to make tentative plans for about 65 percent of their budget allocation and to leave 35 percent free for unanticipated proposals. Sta≠ regularly provide reports to the board about grants made and ongoing lines of work.

How does the foundation decide what to support?

Asset Building and Community Development pa b l o j . fa r í a s , v i c e p r e s i d e n t

The Asset Building and Community Development program helps strengthen and increase the e≠ectiveness of people and organizations working to find solutions to problems of poverty and injustice. Thirty-one program sta≠ focus grant resources in two program units in New York and abroad. We support people who are building human, social, financial and environmental assets that enable people and communities to expand opportunities, to exert control over their lives and to participate in their societies in meaningful and e≠ective ways. Grants support vibrant social movements, institutions and partnerships that analyze contemporary social and economic opportunities and devise responses to them.

Unit: Community and Resource Development

Cultivating Local Stewardship of Natural Resources The rate of deforestation in Mexico is among the highest in the world, not only threatening the country’s biodiversity but also jeopardizing the livelihoods of some of its poorest citizens. Grupo de Estudios Ambientales, a nongovernmental organization known for balancing conservation and development goals, has been tackling these issues with foundation support. Drawing on the revived traditions of preColumbian water management and modern scientific knowledge, the group has teamed up with nearly 20 indigenous communities in the state of Guerrero—home to the villagers at left—to explore additional ways to conserve soil and water at the local level. A new government initiative builds on this work by compensating communities that take steps to preserve forests, replant harvested areas or practice sustainable forestry. These financial incentives, funded by water revenues, seek to align the interests of individual land users with those of society as a whole.

Unit: Economic Development

Creating Incentives to Invest in Children One axiom of investing is to start early, so financial returns have time to compound. The same logic applies to children’s savings accounts, an idea that is catching on in the United States and the United Kingdom. Established at a child’s birth, these accounts would grow through family deposits and matching contributions from government and nonprofit sources. Once the child turns 18, he or she would be able to withdraw money to pay for school, purchase a home or invest in a business. If adopted as public policy, the accounts could raise the savings rate and foster a habit of saving that carries over to succeeding generations. First proposed two decades ago, the idea gained traction in the late 1990’s. With foundation support, the Center for Social Development at Washington University in St. Louis and the Corporation for Enterprise Development are testing children’s savings accounts in 12 U.S. communities and one state. Inspired by this work, the British government will provide savings accounts, or “baby bonds,” to every child born as of April 2005.

Economic Development The Economic Development unit, led by Frank DeGiovanni, director, and John Colborn, deputy director, seeks to make durable economic improvements in the lives of the disadvantaged. The unit coordinates e≠orts in two fields: In Development Finance and Economic Security we support organizations that help businesses create employment opportunities and help low-income people acquire, develop and maintain savings, investments, businesses, homes, land and other assets. In Work-Force Development we support organizations that help improve the ways low-income people develop marketable job skills and acquire and retain reliable employment that provides livable wages. The Economic Development unit administers program-related investments (PRIs) for the foundation’s programs.

unit

Community and Resource Development The Community and Resource Development unit, led by Carl Anthony, acting director, and Miguel García, acting deputy director, coordinates work in three fields and aims to create conditions for the development of sustainable and equitable communities. In Environment and Development we help people and groups acquire, protect, improve and manage land, water, forests, wildlife and other natural assets in ways that help reduce poverty and injustice.

In Community Development we seek to improve the quality of life and opportunities for positive change in urban and rural communities. We support community-based institutions that mobilize and leverage philanthropic capital, investment capital, social capital and natural resources in a responsible and fair manner. In Sexuality and Reproductive Health, a field addressed in all three of the foundation’s programs, we focus on the social, cultural and economic factors that a≠ect sexuality and reproductive health. Grant making emphasizes community-based responses to growing needs for prevention strategies and appropriate policies. It also focuses on empowering women and youth to participate in improving reproductive health and related policies. In all these units, grant making also helps to establish and fortify organizations and institutions that support asset building and the expansion of livelihood options through research, practical innovation, training, policy analysis and advocacy. Grant making aims to help low-income people and communities build the financial, human, social and natural assets they need to overcome poverty and injustice. By supporting and building strong fields, we will be able to help generate strategies appropriate to new situations.

Proposals are accepted and reviewed in the o≤ce located closest to the beneficiaries of the work being proposed. Grant recommendations originate in those o≤ces and grants for under $200,000 may be approved locally. Grant recommendations for $200,000 or more are considered in New York, generally at biweekly meetings of sta≠ and foundation o≤cers. Ford receives about 40,000 proposals each year and makes about 2,500 grants in the program areas and fields noted on pages 26, 60 and 104. Ford considers requests for grants, recoverable grants, loans and loan guarantees. Requests range from a few thousand dollars to millions of dollars and are accepted in categories such as planning grants, project support, general support and endowments. Upon receipt, each proposal is numbered and a letter is sent to the applicant suggesting that the foundation be notified if a substantive response to the request has not arrived within 45 business days. If a grant request falls within program interests, it is reviewed by a grant maker—called a program o≤cer—who has been hired for his or her expertise in a field in which the foundation is working. The program o≤cer looks for fresh ideas and e≠ective organizations that can help advance work in a particular area, as well as for evidence that the people and organizations are likely to succeed in the project they propose and work well with others. If the proposal is being considered for a grant, meetings, site visits, grant negotiations, administrative and legal review and presentation of the grant for approval are generally completed within three months. The first check from the foundation or bank notification should arrive a few weeks after a grant has been approved. For more information, see Guidelines for Grant Seekers on page 181.

Peace and Social Justice bradford k. smith, vice president

Peace is a precondition for the full achievement of the foundation’s mission to strengthen democratic values, reduce poverty and injustice, promote international cooperation and advance human achievement. Armed conflict destroys not only human lives but also livelihoods, governments, civil institutions, trust— in short, everything in its wake. Social justice is the aspiration of all healthy societies and the only long-term guarantee for sustaining peace. Policy, civic participation and the law are the principal strategies used by the Peace and Social Justice program, a network of some 50 program sta≠ members based in two New York program units and our o≤ces overseas.

Unit: Human Rights

Safeguarding Human Rights in the United States In the United States, people under the age of 18 can’t legally consume alcohol, serve on juries or be drafted into the military because they’re presumed to lack the capacity to handle adult responsibilities. Increasingly, though, children who commit crimes risk spending the rest of their lives in prison. In Michigan, one of 41 states that allow such sentences, 307 inmates are now serving life terms without parole for things they did as minors. Deborah Labelle, a lawyer in Ann Arbor, is one of many advocates working to halt this trend. In a report to the American Civil Liberties Union, she noted that punishing juveniles so severely wastes tax dollars, flouts international law and tramples human dignity. “Life-without-parole sentences ignore the very real di≠erences between children and adults, abandoning the concepts of redemption and second chances upon which this country was built,” she said. In a related e≠ort to improve the treatment of men, women and children in detention, Columbia University’s Human Rights Institute provides attorneys and activists with resources and training in international human rights law. The institute also runs www.probono.net, a Web site where advocates like Labelle can exchange information and ideas aimed at advancing human rights in the United States.

Unit: Governance and Civil Society

Promoting Women in Local Government Until recently, seats in the local women’s associations in Qianxi County, Hebei Province, were filled the same way they are elsewhere in China: by appointment. But in July 2003, this agricultural zone east of Beijing tried a new approach, as 100,000 women — including the one shown above — went to the polls to choose their own representatives. Although the associations have limited power, candidates seized the opportunity to address local concerns. Some ran for office again a month later, winning seats on influential village committees. This experiment in direct democracy began with the Qianxi Women’s Federation, which seeks to expand women’s role in local government through voter education and leadership training. Since coordinating the first elections for 20 women’s associations in 1999, it has trained thousands of candidates, public officials and electoral staff. Now that 405 of the county’s 417 villages hold direct elections, the federation is working to introduce them elsewhere in China through publicity and networking.

unit

Human Rights The Human Rights unit, under the leadership of Alan Jenkins, director, and Taryn Higashi, deputy director, works in two fields: In Human Rights we promote access to justice and the protection of civil, political, economic, social and cultural rights, especially for the most vulnerable individuals and groups in society. Grant making emphasizes implementation of human rights protections by strengthening advocacy groups, supporting research and promoting outreach and education. Women’s rights and racial justice programming builds on the historic victories of these movements in the United States and supports antidiscrimination e≠orts and the struggles of women and minority groups in Latin America, South Asia and elsewhere. Other programming supports the protection of refugees and the human rights of immigrants domestically and around the world. In Sexuality and Reproductive Health, a field shared by all of the foundation’s programs, the unit works to secure recognition and enforcement of reproductive rights as embodied in the Plan of Action that emerged from the 1994 United Nations International Conference on Population and Development in Cairo. This work combines the protection of human rights with the promotion of public health. Grant activities include HIV/AIDS prevention and e≠orts to end HIV/AIDS-related stigma and discrimination; halting sex-related tra≤cking, exploitation and violence; and promoting access to reproductive health services and technologies.

unit

Governance and Civil Society The Governance and Civil Society unit, under the leadership of Michael A. Edwards, director, and Urvashi Vaid, deputy director, also works in two fields:

In Governance we strengthen the responsiveness of state and local governments, improve the ability of national government institutions to secure peace and social justice, and build democratic global governance in the arenas of international economics, conflict and security. The unit supports e≠orts to improve government performance, build public awareness of budget and tax issues and confront the challenges posed by the trend toward government decentralization. Additional areas of work promote the value of political equality in America through sound reforms in electoral procedures and campaign financing. The global dimensions of governance are addressed through grant making to improve the management of the international economy and to prevent, mediate and address the consequences of conflict within and between nations. In Civil Society we seek to increase the impact of citizens’ groups working for peace and social justice, strengthen the philanthropic community that supports them, and encourage citizen oversight of the public and private sectors. We believe in the value of associational life and in nurturing strong, independent and democratic civil societies. Grants seek to increase participation in public a≠airs beyond the act of voting and to strengthen civil society organizations. Another initiative aims to foster philanthropy that contributes to social justice outcomes. Other work strengthens global civil society and the ability of transnational citizens’ coalitions to address public policy problems. Natalia Kanem, deputy to the vice president of the Peace and Social Justice program, oversees documentation and sharing of learning based on our work. One example is support for convenings involving sta≠ and grantees in Africa, Asia, Latin America and the United States who are working to advance economic, social and cultural rights. Peace and Social Justice sta≠ also participate in the cross-foundation Sexuality and Reproductive Health Learning Group, which commissions research and supports informational exchanges.

peace and social justice

During the course of a grant, the program o≤cer usually visits with the grantee on site or at a foundation o≤ce, reviews periodic financial and narrative reports, shares them with a grants administrator, and occasionally with a lawyer, for review. The grantee may be asked to attend meetings the foundation convenes to discuss current and future program strategy. Often, Ford hires consultants to help monitor groups of grants or a single grantee’s work. Monitoring is designed to ensure that the funds are used for approved and lawful purposes, and to see whether the grant is contributing to progress toward the larger goal—for example, reducing poverty or injustice. Ford sta≠ members understand that the work the foundation and its grantees undertake together is di≤cult, that success often results from multiple e≠orts over a long period, and that setbacks are likely. The monitoring process encourages candid exchanges about how things are going and whether the strategy might be adjusted to get better results over the long term. In the course of its work, the foundation regularly convenes program o≤cers and grantees working on similar problems around the world in order to compare strategies and advance learning. Ford also helps with the creation of Web sites for the exchange of ideas, and grantees’ travel to observe each other’s work. These various supports for comparative analysis help identify global principles of success, as well as local variations that must be taken into account. Grant renewals are frequent since the foundation supports long-term strategies. After the completion of a grant, the program o≤cer and administrator approve final reports, and the grant is closed. The grant file is then moved to Ford’s archive in the United States. Ten years after grant completion, these archived documents may be opened for research by scholars.

How does Ford monitor grants?

Knowledge, Creativity and Freedom alison r. bernstein, vice president

The Knowledge, Creativity and Freedom program works globally to advance achievement in the arts, education and scholarship and to advance a positive understanding of sexuality. It also seeks to promote the media and religion as forces for democracy in a range of cultural contexts. This body of work, which is carried out by 28 program sta≠ members in two units in New York and overseas, recognizes that knowledge and creativity are central to the richness of people’s lives and the progress of communities. It also a≤rms the importance of freedom to think and act critically, originally and responsibly in facilitating the building of more just and pluralistic societies.

Unit: Education, Sexuality, Religion

Integrating the Arts in Classroom Instruction Ever since Texas adopted a statewide curriculum in 1998, its public schools have stressed core subjects like reading, math, science and social studies. Dallas is no exception, but teachers there increasingly build their lesson plans around encounters with local cultural institutions and artists, like Leo Hassan, to the left. This novel approach began with a hard-won alliance between city government, the school district and the city’s arts and cultural institutions. Called ArtsPartners, the alliance has trained 4,500 elementary school teachers and revamped education programs run by 62 arts groups, from mariachi players to the Dallas Museum of Art. All but a few of the city’s 157 public elementary schools now incorporate the arts in regular classroom instruction. Since the partnership began, it has strengthened the teaching force, engaged students through new ways of learning and brought marked gains in literacy, particularly writing. As a result, cities like Baltimore, St. Louis, Charlotte, N.C., and Jackson, Miss., are looking to Dallas as a model of curriculum reform.

Unit: Media, Arts and Culture

Revitalizing Traditional Arts and Culture Since the fall of Suharto, who ruled from 1966 to 1998, Indonesians have begun to rediscover the rich cultural legacy of their vast archipelago, which encompasses 17,000 islands, 300 ethic groups and 238 million people. Suharto’s regime, influenced by nearly four centuries of Dutch colonial rule, favored Western art forms. But now the traditional arts it ignored or suppressed—such as gamelan, shadow puppetry and calligraphy—are regaining respect. A new curriculum developed by the Foundation for Education in the Arts of Nusantara lets students investigate the arts as living traditions practiced throughout Indonesia and elsewhere in the world. First introduced in 26 schools in 2003, it spread to 240 schools with 49,000 students in 2004, with another 500 schools set to follow suit in 2005. The initiative also includes extracurricular activities where students can try their hand at traditional art forms and attend performances—like this folk theater of the Karo people of North Sumatra. Through such efforts, Indonesians are recognizing cultural diversity as a source of national strength and pride.

Education, Sexuality, Religion

Media, Arts and Culture

The Education, Sexuality, Religion unit, led by Janice Petrovich, director, and Cyrus Driver, deputy director, works in three fields:

The Media, Arts and Culture unit, headed by Margaret B. Wilkerson, director, and Jon Funabiki, deputy director, seeks to strengthen the arts and media as important contributors to the communities and societies in which they function. The unit works in two fields to accomplish these goals:

In Education and Scholarship we seek to increase educational access and quality for the disadvantaged, to educate new leaders and thinkers and to foster knowledge and curriculum supportive of inclusion, development and civic life. Grant making supports policy, research and reform programs in both schools and higher education institutions around the world, with particular emphasis on enhancing the performance of educational systems through improving finance, access, accountability and training. Scholarship is supported to deepen understanding of such issues as gender, identity, pluralism and social change. Sexuality and Reproductive Health, a field addressed in all three of the foundation’s program divisions, supports e≠orts to build knowledge, develop policy and deepen public understanding of sexuality and its relationship to human fulfillment, culture, religion and identity. In Religion, Society and Culture we examine the role of religious traditions of the world in shaping social values, with the goal of strengthening the contribution of these traditions to creating just, healthy and pluralistic societies. Grant making also seeks to support the participation of historically marginalized groups in the interpretation of diverse religious and cultural traditions and to examine the moral resources they o≠er contemporary societies.

In Media our work strengthens free and responsible media that address important civic and social issues, and promotes policies and regulations that ensure media and information systems serve the public’s diverse constituencies and interests. In addition, we support high-quality productions that enrich public dialogue on such core issues as building democratic values and pluralism. In Arts and Culture our goal is to increase opportunities for cultural and artistic expression for people of all backgrounds; to foster documentation, dissemination and transmission of both new and traditional creative art forms; to broaden audience involvement and access; and to improve the livelihoods of artists and their opportunity to contribute to civic life. David Chiel, deputy to the vice president of the Knowledge, Creativity and Freedom program, is responsible for helping sta≠ members worldwide work together to learn what is e≠ective and why, then share these lessons with foundation grantees and wider communities of interest.

International Fellowships Program

Since its inception in November 2000, the Ford Foundation International Fellowships Program has given more than 1,500 promising young leaders from around the world the opportunity for advanced study in universities at home and abroad. Created by the Ford Foundation and the Institute for International Education, this 12-year, $280million program is the largest initiative in the foundation’s history. It will provide graduate fellowships for more than 3,300 talented individuals from 22 countries and territories by the year 2012.

The I.F.P. di≠ers from other e≠orts to support international graduate work, such as the Fulbright or Rhodes programs, in crucial ways. First, it chooses fellows on the basis of their leadership potential and commitment to their country or community, as well as for academic promise. Second, the program’s fellows come from groups that have limited access to higher education for reasons including caste, ethnicity, gender, geographic isolation, language, physical disability, political instability, race, religion or socioeconomic status.

Hu Jian, China Mahidol University,Thailand Master’s degree in primary health-care management “I.F.P. o≠ered me a chance to study for my master’s degree when I was already 40, which is very hard to do in China, and very few people from my poor province get these opportunities. “I chose to study in Thailand because of the cultural and geographic similarities to places with similar public health challenges in China, and because Thailand has been very successful in fighting the H.I.V./AIDS epidemic that is now facing China. “I was a medical o≤cer in my home province of Guizou for almost 20 years, and we sometimes would need to walk long distances to remote villages to provide maternal and child health programs. Women and children are the most vulnerable populations. My studies in Thailand have given me skills to manage programs more e≠ectively, and to conduct research as well.”

Oksana Silantieva, Russia Bournemouth University, United Kingdom Master’s degree in multimedia journalism “After completing my studies in the U.K., I returned home to Siberia and established a media training school that trains journalists to think independently. I see this as my contribution to constructing democracy in Russia, where the Soviet system of training journalists is still widespread. “The program I completed at Bournemouth is taught in only four universities in the world. I learned how to do video, audio, photo, print and interactive forms of journalism. This idea of convergence—multimedia journalism—is not yet common, but will be in 10 years. “I am not from a rich family, and my parents never dreamed of sending me abroad to study. The I.F.P. o≠ered me a unique opportunity to gain the newest knowledge in my field. Now I feel strong enough to promote social justice and to change the stereotypical way of thinking in my community, my region and my country.”

Bibiana Bangpouri, Ghana Brandeis University, United States Master’s degree in development studies “Unless and until one can work in a position that o≠ers the opportunity to e≠ect changes at a higher level of decision making, not much influence can be made. That is why I am striving to go beyond the community and district levels to work at the regional and national levels. Otherwise, we are just daydreaming about change. I want to move from helping hundreds of people to helping millions of people! “My training at Brandeis University has given me academic grounding, improved my confidence level and broadened my horizons so I can apply my learning in my community work. Interacting with people from

many di≠erent countries has given me new perspective and new methods to address our problems here in Ghana. “Generally it is very di≤cult for people from my background and from my rural region to gain graduate education. There are many deprived people here who are very promising, who could be future leaders, but cannot go for higher studies because our own community cannot support us to gain further education. I.F.P. saw that I could be a change agent in my community, and I have come home to be just that.”

International Fellowships Program fellows in each participating country are selected by independent national or regional committees that apply the program’s global selection criteria in ways that are appropriate to di≠erent cultural contexts and country settings. Assisted by educational advising and placement services provided by the program, the fellows enjoy considerable freedom to choose where and what to study. They can enroll at universities abroad or in their home countries or regions, as long as they are committed to serving their communities and countries upon completing their studies. The I.F.P. pays for up to three years of graduate education leading to a master’s or doctoral degree at any university, but many fellows are clustered at some 30 institutions in a dozen countries, including the Asian Institute of Management in the Philippines, the University of Hawaii at Manoa and the University of London. They are at work in a wide range of academic fields, including development and gender studies, education, human rights law, natural resource management, public health and the social sciences. To ensure that fellows are prepared for graduate-level study, the program emphasizes pre-enrollment preparation and training. It provides opportunities both in the fellows’ home countries and at universities abroad for short-term language study as well as training in research and computer skills before fellows start their graduate programs. Current fellows also convene each year for a leadership institute aimed at helping them apply their studies to problems in their home communities and encouraging them to forge a global network that will continue beyond their fellowship years. “Being here gave me another perspective, a global perspective, on what we can do together,” said Fatou Amanita Lo, an I.F.P. fellow from Senegal, as the sixth institute drew to a close in July 2004. Lo, who is pursuing a master’s degree in development management at the School for International Training in Vermont, added:“Injustice is global and I think that global action is needed. Being part of this group and discussing these issues gives me new hope.”

Since the program began, about 200 fellows have successfully completed their studies. More than 800 are enrolled at nearly 400 universities in some 40 countries on six continents. Hundreds more fellows will begin their studies in the coming months. In the program’s first four years, only a few fellows have left before completing their studies. About 85 percent of the alumni have returned to or resumed work in their home countries, while almost all of the others are engaged in further study. “I.F.P. is conclusively demonstrating that academic excellence can be more broadly defined,” says Joan Dassin, the program’s executive director. “When candidates with the greatest social commitment and leadership skills, as well as outstanding academic potential, are chosen for advanced study, they can and do excel in comparison with students selected according to more conventional criteria.” Moreover, Dassin says, when fellows are chosen because they want to make a di≠erence in their societies, not just further their individual careers, those studying abroad return home, avoiding the “brain drain” that has been an unwelcome outcome of many international fellowship programs. Hu Jian, a public health physician from China’s Guizhou Province, was selected in 2001, in the first group of fellows. After some preliminary training in English and computer skills in Beijing, he enrolled in a master’s program at Mahidol University in Thailand, where he studied primary health-care management and conducted research on H.I.V./AIDS among migrant fishermen in Ranong, Thailand. After he graduated, the university o≠ered him a three-year scholarship to stay on and pursue a doctorate in demography, specializing in reproductive health and AIDS prevention. He says the knowledge, reasoning and skills he is developing at Mahidol will inform his subsequent work back home in China.

Bibiana Bangpouri, a former schoolteacher from northwestern Ghana, is the first in her family to complete more than a primary education. As an I.F.P. fellow, she earned a master’s degree in development studies at Brandeis University, where she received the Bailis Family Social Justice Award when she graduated in May 2004. Since returning home, she has been leading workshops in management planning and environmental issues. Recently, for example, she spent six weeks helping villagers in central Ghana develop the vocabulary and skills to weigh in on upcoming water projects sponsored by the World Bank and other international donors. Francisco López Bárcenas, a Mixtec Indian attorney from Oaxaca, Mexico, stayed in his native country to study rural development at the Autonomous Metropolitan University in Xochimilco. Since completing his master’s degree, he has continued to defend the rights of indigenous peoples in Oaxaca and other parts of Latin America through legal advocacy and publications. An expert of growing renown, he has written many newspaper articles and several books on indigenous rights in Mexico.

I.F.P. fellows are excelling in their studies and contributing valuable grass-roots perspectives to their university communities. But the program’s most enduring impact will be felt o≠ campus. By extending opportunities to people with a deep commitment to their communities, I.F.P. helps fellows draw on past experiences and personal contacts—in short, their social capital—as well as on their academic knowledge. Fellows like Hu, Bangpouri and López Bárcenas are finding this mix to be a winning combination. Similar convictions motivate the program’s newest fellows, including Leonid Tskhurbaev, who begins working on a master’s degree in migration and refugee studies at the University of East London next fall. After completing his studies, he plans to return to the Caucasian Refugees Committee, which he founded in 1999 to help people displaced by conflict near his home in North Ossetia, a strife-torn region of the Caucasus along Russia’s southern frontier. Tskhurbaev hopes his graduate study will inform the committee’s work in ways that, he says,“help to make refugees’ burdens easier and to solve ethnic interaction problems in my community.”

The International Fellowships Program was launched in the belief that learning, leadership and commitment can combine powerfully to help promote social justice. I.F.P. fellows are now proving the hypothesis in practice, gaining skills that allow each, in the words of Encop Sopia, an Indonesian fellow who is studying

for a master’s degree in political science at the University of Hawaii,“to become a social agent for themselves and for their societies.”

Leadership for a Changing World

In 2000, the Ford Foundation established an annual recognition and research program, Leadership for a Changing World, to honor up to 20 outstanding community leaders (or leadership groups) from around the United States. The program celebrates significant achievements by women and men— often unknown outside their regions—who are tackling some of the nation’s toughest social problems. In honoring these leaders, the program seeks to expand conventional notions of what constitutes leadership, stimulate public discourse on the nature of e≠ective leadership and broaden the diversity of voices shaping regional and national agendas. Thus far, the Leadership for a Changing World program has recognized 130 individuals from 33 states,Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico. “Often those who are seen as leaders get asked to serve on commissions and have access that helps them influence public policy,”says Marian Krauskopf, who coordinates the program. “We hope this program will boost the awardees’ visibility so that they gain that kind of access.”

East Bay Asian Youth Center

Many Tongues, One Language The East Bay Asian Youth Center in Oakland, Calif., shows how cultural diversity can be a powerful agent for progress. Led by David Kakishiba and a sta≠ of immigrants or children of immigrants, EBAYC is working to improve life in Oakland’s low-income neighborhoods. The group helps to develop leadership among parents in the Eastlake, San Antonio and Fruitvale neighborhoods by establishing parent action committees, known as PACs. Today, some 500 Asian, Latino and African-American parents are engaged in PACs in several schools. The results are impressive. For example, in 1997 Roosevelt Middle School was notorious for gang-related and racial violence, truancy and crime. Since then, a PAC-inspired increase in parent involvement has helped decrease truancy by 40 percent, and Roosevelt is one of the few schools in Alameda County to meet the state’s academic-performance standards.

Vic Rosenthal, Jewish Community Action (JCA)

The Spirit of Tikkun Olam In Minnesota, Vic Rosenthal has helped create a diverse coalition that sustains the Jewish traditions of tzedek ( justice) and tikkun olam (repairing a broken world). The Twin Cities su≠er from a severe a≠ordable housing shortage, particularly for low-income residents, many of them immigrants. As leader of Jewish Community Action for six years, Vic Rosenthal has challenged the Jewish community to recall its own immigrant roots. The group has invested $2 million in five small, innercity banks, providing small businesses and nonprofit developers with access to affordable credit. Rosenthal is proudest of Gateway Interfaith Table for Affordable Housing, a coalition that has helped build hundreds of new units of a≠ordable housing. Thanks to a housing alliance that includes gift, St. Paul built more units in the past two years than during the previous decade.

Jill Morrison, Powder River Basin Resource Council

Grit and Independence in a Damaged Land In Wyoming, Jill Morrison unites ranchers, public o≤cials and conservationists to confront an industrial threat to land, water and tradition. Growing up on a farm, Morrison learned early the importance of a healthy environment. After graduating from college in Arizona, she organized workers at a nuclear power plant to voice concerns about shoddy plant construction and mismanagement. Later, she became an award-winning investigative reporter. At the Powder River Basin Resource Council, which she joined 14 years ago, Morrison has inspired ranchers, blue-collar workers, professionals, liberals, conservatives and conservationists to pull together

to address a multitude of problems. Thanks largely to the council, government agencies are confronting energy-company practices that cause erosion, water pollution and soil and vegetation damage. Recently, Morrison and her colleagues helped landowners get industry to replace water wells destroyed by coal mining or methane development and convinced coal mining companies to modify blasting practices to reduce the harm done by toxic nitrogen dioxide gases. The council also urged the state to require large-scale gravel pit operators to obtain air quality permits and to strengthen zoning for industrial-sized feed lots for livestock.

A partnership of the Ford Foundation, the Advocacy Institute and the Robert F.Wagner Graduate School of Public Service at New York University, the program honors leaders from the range of fields in which the foundation is active. Over the course of two years, awardees receive $100,000 to support or expand their programs and $15,000 for educational opportunities to strengthen their individual or organizational e≠ectiveness. Leadership for a Changing World honorees gather twice annually to share successful approaches in their community work and to explore their common challenges. They also take part in a media campaign to disseminate their leadership stories and perspectives. The Advocacy Institute leads both of these e≠orts in addition to managing the award program’s selection process. The program has received over 7,000 nominations since its launch. “One of the strengths of this program is that experienced social justice advocates from across the country participate in the selection process,” says Kathleen Sheekey, the president and CEO of the Advocacy Institute. In order to gain more knowledge about leadership for social change, the program fosters a collaborative relationship between awardees and social scientists from a number of universities. This e≠ort is led by a team of researchers from the Robert F. Wagner Graduate School of Public Service (the nation’s largest), the program’s research and documentation partner. Awardees and researchers engage in structured conversations in which they reflect upon their work in ways that elicit new ideas and deepen collective understanding of leadership practices grounded in real-world experience. “The researchers use methodologies that incorporate the learned wisdom of the awardees,” says Sonia Ospina, who, together with Krauskopf, co-directs the Research Center for Leadership in Action at N.Y.U. “We are disseminating the insights of this research so that others can use them to develop their leadership skills and build the capacities of their organizations.”

The goal of the program is to understand how leadership arises, is perceived and sustained, in order to build more support for community-based e≠orts and, ultimately, to alter public perception in ways that incorporate new exemplars of leadership. For more information, visit the program’s Web site at http://leadershipforchange.org. Visitors may take part in Leadership Talks with awardees and download nomination materials.

Introduction to Financial Statements

Investments

The foundation’s investment portfolio was valued at $10.5 billion at the end of fiscal 2004, versus $9.8 billion at the close of fiscal 2003. The portfolio rate of return was 13.7 percent for the fiscal year, 5.7 percent annualized for the three-year period, and 11.4 percent annualized for the ten-year period. The foundation’s primary investment objective is to generate an inflation-adjusted return in excess of our mandated minimum 5 percent payout requirement.We have achieved that objective over the long term. Equities continued to rebound in fiscal 2004, led by international markets, and especially emerging markets. The foundation’s international equities gained 21.9 percent for the year. The U.S. equity market also had strong returns and the foundation’s aggregate U.S. equities returned 13.7 percent. Our fixed income portfolio gained 5.5 percent, led by inflation-linked, international, and corporate high grade and high yield bonds. Our private equity portfolio also rebounded as the stronger initial public offering market helped our venture capital funds and successful realizations by our buyout funds helped that sector as well.

Income and Expenditures

Total realized income, including capital gains, amounted to $757 million in fiscal 2004, compared with $230 million in fiscal 2003. Dividends and interest income totaled $267 million, or $6 million above fiscal 2003. Total program activities (primarily grants to organizations and individuals, direct charitable activities and program support) were $512 million, representing a decrease of $45 million over the previous year. General management expenditures were $27 million, representing a 1.7 percent increase over the previous year. Expenses incurred in the production of income were $28 million, a $2.4 million increase over fiscal year 2003.

Program-Related Investments (PRIs)

Each year the foundation invests a portion of its endowment in projects that advance philanthropic purposes in various areas of the foundation’s interest. (See list, page 56.) The trustees have earmarked up to $200 million of the corpus for these investments. The investments are in the form of debt or equity financing or loan guarantees. As of September 30, 2004 the foundation had $128.8 million in investments and $27.6 million in funding commitments. During the fiscal year, new PRI loan commitments of $12 million were made, and $15.2 million were disbursed. Principal repayments of $15.1 million and investment income of $1.2 million were received. The following table summarizes the PRI program for fiscal years 2004 and 2003.

Federal Excise Tax and Payout Requirement

The Internal Revenue Code imposes on private foundations an excise tax equal to 2 percent on net investment income (principally interest, dividends and net realized capital gains, less expenses incurred in the production of investment income). This tax is reduced to 1 percent when the foundation meets certain distribution requirements. In fiscal 2004, the foundation was again able to satisfy the distribution requirement and thus reduce the excise tax from 2 percent to 1 percent by converting the tax savings into additional qualifying distributions (grant payments). For fiscal 2004, the tax is estimated to be $5.9 million, excluding the deferred portion of excise taxes resulting from unrealized appreciation/depreciation on investments. Since fiscal 1971 the foundation has incurred federal excise taxes of $237 million. The Internal Revenue Code also requires private foundations annually to disburse approximately 5 percent of the market value of investment assets, less the federal excise tax. The payout requirement may be satisfied by payments for grants, program-related investments, direct conduct of charitable activities and certain administrative expenses. The foundation had qualifying distributions of $625 million in fiscal 2004, exceeding the federally mandated payout requirement by $98 million. During the past five years, the foundation has made $3.5 billion in qualifying distributions, exceeding the federally mandated payout requirement by $639 million.

Notes to Financial Statements September 30, 2004

Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The financial statements of The Ford Foundation (the Foundation) are prepared on the accrual basis. The significant accounting policies followed are set forth below: Investments Equity and fixed income investments are generally valued based upon

the final sales price as quoted on major exchanges. However, certain fixed income securities are valued based upon yields or prices of securities of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type as well as indications as to values from brokers and dealers. Short-term investments generally represent securities with maturity of 1 year or less and are valued at amortized cost. Limited marketability investments, representing amounts in venture capital and equity partnerships, are valued at the quoted market price for securities for which market quotations are readily available or an estimate of value (fair value) as determined in good faith by the general partner. Significant changes affecting the values of these limited marketability investments that occur between the time net asset values are last communicated by the general partner and the close of the Foundation’s fiscal year are reflected in the fair value. Transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Investment related receivables and payables are included in the accompanying statements of financial position as part of investments at fair value. Realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments are determined by comparison of specific costs of acquisition (identified lot basis) to proceeds at the time of disposal, or market values at the last day of the fiscal year, respectively, and include the effects of currency translation with respect to transactions and holdings of foreign securities. Dividends and interest are recognized when earned. Cash Consists of cash on hand and operating bank deposits. Program-Related Investments The Foundation invests in projects that advance philanthropic purposes.These program-related investments are mainly loans outstanding for up to 10 years at below market interest rates and are presented at net realizable value based on an evaluation of recoverability that utilizes experience. Fixed Assets Land, buildings, furniture, equipment and leasehold improvements

owned by the Foundation are recorded at cost. Depreciation is charged using the straight-line method based on estimated useful lives of the particular assets generally estimated as follows: buildings, principally 50 years, and furniture, equipment and leasehold improvements, 3 to 15 years.

160

f o r d f o u n dat i o n a n n ua l r e p o r t 2 0 0 4

Expenditures and Appropriations Grant expenditures are considered incurred at the

time of approval by the President of the Foundation. Uncommitted appropriations that have been approved by the Board of Trustees are included in appropriated unrestricted net assets. Taxes The Foundation qualifies as a tax-exempt organization under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and, accordingly, is not subject to federal income taxes. However, the Foundation is subject to a federal excise tax.

The Foundation follows the policy of providing for federal excise taxes on net appreciation (both realized and unrealized) on investments. The deferred provision for federal excise tax represents taxes provided on net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments. Risks and Uncertainties The Foundation uses estimates in preparing the financial

statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, which require management to make estimates and assumptions. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The most significant estimates and assumptions relate to valuation of limited marketable securities, allowances for possible losses on program-related investments and employee benefit plans. Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities The Foundation records all derivative instruments, as defined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, at their fair value. The fair value adjustment is recorded directly to the invested asset and recognized as an unrealized gain or loss in the statements of activities.

Included in investments are $125.8 million and $77.2 million of investment-related receivables and payables for pending transactions, respectively, in fiscal year 2004 and $317.3 million and $329.9 million in fiscal year 2003. The Foundation purchases and sells forward currency contracts whereby the Foundation agrees to exchange one currency for another on an agreed-upon date at an agreed-upon exchange rate to minimize the exposure of certain of its investments to adverse fluctuations in currency markets. As of September 30, 2004 and 2003, the Foundation had foreign currency contracts with notional amounts totaling $170.8 million and $305.9 million, respectively. Such contracts involve, to varying degrees, risks of loss from the possible inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts. Changes in the value of forward currency contracts are recognized as unrealized gains or losses until such contracts are closed.

Note 4 – Provision for Federal Excise Tax

The Internal Revenue Code imposes an excise tax on private foundations equal to 2 percent of net investment income, which is defined as interest, dividends and net realized gains less operating and capital losses on partnership investments and expenses incurred in the production of income. The tax is reduced to 1 percent for foundations that meet certain distribution requirements. In fiscal years 2004 and 2003, the Foundation satisfied these requirements and is therefore eligible for the reduced tax. The provision for federal excise tax (based on a 1 percent rate in fiscal years 2004 and 2003) consists of a current provision on net investment income. A deferred excise tax provision is recognized on current net unrealized gains on investments. The amount of excise taxes paid were $6.5 million and $3.1 million in fiscal years 2004 and 2003, respectively.

Note 5 – Retirement Plans

The Foundation’s defined benefit pension plans and the defined contribution plans cover substantially all New York appointed employees (staff who are locally appointed by overseas offices are covered by other retirement arrangements). Pension benefits generally depend upon age, length of service and salary level. The Foundation also provides retirees with at least five years of service and who are at least age 55 with nonpension postretirement benefits which include medical, dental and life insurance. The defined benefit pension plans are annually funded in accordance with the minimum funding requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act. The nonpension postretirement benefits are not funded by the Foundation.

The Foundation is involved in several legal actions. The Foundation believes it has defenses for all such claims, believes the claims are substantially without merit, and is vigorously defending the actions.

As part of its program-related investment activities, the Foundation is committed to provide $27,568,000 of loans to not-for-profit organizations once certain conditions are met. Further, as part of its investment management activity, the Foundation is committed to additional funding of $539,966,000 in private equity commitments.

Guidelines for Grant Seekers

Grants and Program-Related Investments to Organizations Before a request is made for a grant or program-related investment, a brief letter of inquiry is advisable to determine whether the foundation’s present interests and funds permit consideration of the request. The letter should include:

A The purpose of the project for which funds are being requested A Problems and issues the proposed project will address A Information about the organization conducting the project A Estimated overall budget for the project A Period of time for which funds are requested A Qualifications of those who will be engaged in the project After receiving the letter, foundation sta≠ members may ask the grant seeker to submit a formal proposal. There is no grant application form. The proposal should include:

A The organization’s current budget A A description of the proposed work and how it will be conducted A The names and curricula vitae of those engaged in the project A A detailed project budget A Present means of support and status of applications to other funding sources A Legal and tax status In some instances, the foundation requires the grantee organization to match the foundation’s grant with funds from other sources. The foundation supports pluralism and equal opportunity in its grant making and in its internal policies. The opportunities that prospective grantee organizations provide for women and other disadvantaged groups are considered in evaluating proposals. Applications are considered throughout the year. Normally applicants may expect to receive within six weeks an indication of whether their proposals are within the foundation’s program interests and budget limitations. If the proposal is being considered for a grant, the approval process is generally completed within three months. Activities supported by grants and program-related investments must be charitable, educational or scientific, as defined under the appropriate provisions of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code and Treasury Regulations. The foundation monitors grants through regular financial and narrative reports submitted by the grantee.

guidelines for grant seekers 2004

The foundation’s funds are limited in relation to the great number of worthwhile proposals received. For example, in 2004 the foundation received about 41,000 grant requests and made 2,091 grants. The foundation directs its support to activities that are within its current interests and are likely to have wide e≠ect. Support is not normally given for routine operating costs of institutions or for religious activities. Except in rare cases, funding is not available for the construction or maintenance of buildings. Requests in the United States should be sent to: Secretary The Ford Foundation 320 East 43rd Street New York, N.Y. 10017 or e-mailed to: O≤[email protected] Outside the United States, requests should be directed to the nearest foundation o≤ce. See page 15 for locations of overseas o≤ces and partnerships.

Grants to Individuals Most of the foundation’s grant funds are given to organizations. Although it also makes grants to individuals, they are few in number relative to demand and are limited to research, training and other activities related to its program interests. The foundation does not award undergraduate scholarships or make grants for purely personal needs. Support for graduate fellowships is generally provided through grants to universities and other organizations, which are responsible for the selection of recipients. Most foundation grants to individuals are awarded either through publicly announced competitions or on the basis of nominations from universities and other nonprofit institutions. In all cases, recipients are selected on the merits of their proposals and on their potential contribution to advancing the foundation’s program objectives.

Communications

In pursuit of its mission around the world, the Ford Foundation’s grant-making activities generate ideas as well as social change. The list is long. A few examples are: constructive ways to promote more democratic societies; new ideas for education reform; and innovative approaches to improving the lives of the poor. The O≤ce of Communications’ goal is to make sure the best of these ideas are

widely shared. In this regard, the o≤ce serves a strategic communications role by broadening public awareness of major foundation programs, the issues they address and the results of this work. Communications sta≠ are a resource for journalists, giving them information about the foundation and making available the expertise of our program sta≠. The o≤ce also works with program o≤cers to develop communications plans to inform public debate and to help grantees strengthen their own communications e≠orts. The Ford Foundation Report, an award-winning quarterly magazine, takes a

journalistic approach to issues and events related to the foundation and its grantees. Each issue reaches some 50,000 readers in the United States and around the world. The o≤ce also produces the foundation’s annual report, a fundamental document of its public accountability, and works with program sta≠ to develop publications related to foundation-supported projects.

How do the trustees govern the foundation? p. 9 Why are we a global foundation? p. 14 How does the foundation decide what to support? p. 23

All of this is available on the foundation’s Web site at www.fordfound.org, along with news announcements, guidelines for grant seekers, information on the foundation’s overseas o≤ces and listings of recent grants. The Web site is now the primary source of information about foundation grants and averages nearly 1.5 million visitors a year. Information is available in five languages in addition to English. To request publications or to be placed on the O≤ce of Communications’ mailing list, visit the Web site or write to: Ford Foundation, O≤ce of Communications, Dept.
