The Ford Foundation supports visionary leaders and organizations on the frontlines of social change worldwide. We work mainly by making grants or loans that build knowledge and strengthen organizations and networks in the following key problem areas and program strategies: Democratic values, Reducing poverty and injustice, Promoting international cooperation and advancing human achievement. In the world of sexual health education, Ford Foundation suppors school- and community-based programs and advocacy efforts that expand access to sexuality education, especially among marginalized youth. Working in partnership with key nonprofit organizations, funders and government agencies, these programs enable young people to access accurate information and provide a space for discussion of sexuality, gender roles, and sexual and reproductive health and their relationship to poverty and discrimination.
