New York City Good Neighbor Committee

The New York City Good Neighbor Committee seeks to strengthen the Ford Foundation’s ties and support for local organizations working on issues related to the foundation’s mission. It also serves as an opportunity to provide Ford staff who are not grantmakers to experience the core work of the foundation. As part of this work, we seek to employ the Ford Foundation’s values and approaches to effective grantmaking practices by supporting our grantees through flexible support, approaching relationships with transparency and trust, and striving to keep burdens light.
