Ford Fund Responds to Natural Disasters

WESTLAND, Mich.,–– Throughout the month of September, the United States, Mexico, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands were struck by a series of natural disasters. At the beginning of the month, Mexico was struck with two powerful earthquakes, which damaged important infrastructure throughout the southern part of the country. Later in September, Hurricane Maria severely damaged Puerto Rico with category 4 winds, knocking out power to the entire country. In light of these events, the Ford Fund responded to the natural disasters with efforts to provide disaster relief to those affected by these tragic events.

Working directly with Ford Mexico and the Dealers Civic Committee, the Ford Fund quickly contributed $200,000 to the United Way of Mexico's Earthquake Relief Fund. They also promised to match employee donations to the Mexico Earthquake Relief Fund by up to $50,000. This relief fund will provide food, shelter, water, and medicine to those affected by the disaster, and will also go towards supporting long-term assistance to help communities rebuild and recover. 

The Ford Fund will also be contributing $100,000 in donations to Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. Local Ford dealers will also match the Ford Fund's donation by contributing an additional $100,000. This combined donation will be distributed through a wide variety of nonprofits based on the current needs of those affected by the disaster. Additionally, Ford is continuing to match donations to the American Red Cross by up to $300,000 for those affected by Hurricanes Harvey, Irma, and Maria. Currently, Ford employees alone have donated over $1 million and are continuing to raise funds in solidarity. 

If you would like to make a difference in these communities, donate to the Mexico Earthquake Relief Fund or the American Red Cross to have your contributions matched by the Ford Fund.
