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 What are the democratic values, economic well-being, peace, cultural expression and educational president’s achievement. We have worked to create partner- ships with grantees that emphasize joint learn- role and ing and reflection. We have made it a priority to communicate what we are learning to broad responsibilities? 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 other- wise 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. ford foundation annual report 2004 3 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 demo- cratic 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 govern- ment 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 How have the for grant making. This led the Ford family to appoint H. Rowan Gaither, a San Francisco lawyer, foundation’s to lead a seven-man team of experts to chart a new course for the future. The team’s report, goals evolved? 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 dedi- cated 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. ford foundation annual report 2004 5 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.

  • THE POLYMATH VERSUS TRADITION ISWAR CHANDRA VIDYASAGAR and HIS TRYST with HUMANISM** Anjashi Sarkar*
    Journal of the Asiatic Society of Bangladesh (Hum.), Vol. 65(2), 2020, pp. 151-177 THE POLYMATH VERSUS TRADITION ISWAR CHANDRA VIDYASAGAR AND HIS TRYST WITH HUMANISM** Anjashi Sarkar* Abstract Iswar Chandra Vidyasagar as a philanthropist and humanist has evoked interest in various research fields and conversations across generations. When it comes to the pathos of the Indian society during the nineteenth century it is inclusive of the efforts undertaken to deal or fight the same. In this context, a polymath stands as a primary factor and an exemplary figure for the much-needed awakening of young and new generations. Vidyasagar not only as a humanist but also as a human being has been at the forefront of the renaissance we are acquainted with as far as the Bengal chapter in the nineteenth century is concerned. His academic and philosophical endeavours have gathered attention of scholars, officer- administrators, etc. time and again. His adventures and experiences may be evaluated in various ways; in one aspect as a coming of age game changer in the Indian society, and, in the other as a humanist who brought in shades of life in every undertaking he was associated with or displayed immense passion about. This paper is meant to highlight the exceptionality of Iswar Chandra Vidyasagar, based on primary and secondary sources, and how his endeavours have left an impression in the minds of potential radicals. Introduction Whenever we have come across thinkers and scholars from all eras, we tend to analyze what made them unforgettable personalities. In addition to this, we attach various events that shaped up their notions and understandings about the immediate environment.

    Ford Foundation Annual Report 2005 our mission Strengthen democratic values, reduce poverty and injustice, promote international cooperation and advance human achievement. 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 locat- ed; 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 understand- ing, 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.

  • The Contradictions of the Green Revolution*
    The Contradictions of the Green Revolution* Will the Green Revolution turn red? That is the big question about the recent and highly publicized upsurge in Third-World food production. Food output is rising, but so is the number of unemployed in countryside and city. Is this growing class of dispossessed going to rise up in socialist revolution? Such is the specter invoked in an increasing number of mass-media news stories. Scholarly studies echo the same fear, and concern is growing among officials at the Ford and Rockefeller Foundations, the World Bank, and the U.S. Agency for International Development (AID). All of these organizations are anxiously trying to buy the answers to these questions. As more and more research money flows out, reams of reports from eager university and field-staff researchers are piling up. Yet for all the vast literature, radical researchers and strategists have paid little heed to the Green Revolution or to its revolutionary potential.1 This is a strange oversight in a generation of radicals more impressed by peasant revolution than by Marx’s vision of revolution by an industrial proletariat. How important is this new development to U.S. foreign policy, that such mighty institutions should be stirred into action? What is the real impact of the Green Revolution on the internal contradictions of modern capitalism? Will social tensions be abated or exacerbated? It is my hope that this essay, which discusses these and related questions, will open a discussion among radicals and move others to probe more deeply into the whole phenomenon. 1.
