Ford Motor Company | 2010 Annual Report 19
“Creating a strong business and building a better world are
not conflicting goals – they are both essential ingredients
for long-term success.”
– William Clay Ford, Jr., Executive Chairman, Ford Motor Company
Volunteerism has been an integral part
of Ford Motor Company for more than a
century. Today, we help build communities
by leveraging the volunteer muscle of Ford
employees and retirees throughout the
world.
The Ford Volunteer Corps is made up of Ford
employees and retirees from six continents.
The Corps was formed in 2005 by Bill Ford,
then Ford’s president and CEO, in response
to the need created by three natural
disasters. The Corps later was expanded and
made a permanent part of the Ford Fund
and Community Services.
In 2010, more than 26,000 Ford employees
and retirees in 41 countries gave more than
112,000 hours to their communities as part
of the Volunteer Corps. This included several
Accelerated Action Days in 2010. Each has a
special focus, such as families and children
or the environment. Shelters and schools,
children’s homes, soup kitchens, and parks
and playgrounds have all benefited from
the help provided by these volunteers.
The Ford Volunteer Corps also organized
its fih annual Global Week of Caring.
During a single week in September,
about 12,000 Ford employees throughout
the world contributed more than 46,000
hours to over 200 volunteer projects.
For 16 years, Ford has been a national
sponsor of the Susan G. Komen Race for
the Cure and has dedicated more than
$105 million to breast cancer prevention and
research. More than 50,000 Ford employees
and thousands of dealership employees
have participated in “Race for the Cure”
events in their local communities. Pictured
le is the Ford World Headquarters event in
Dearborn, Michigan.
FORD DRIVING
SKILLS FOR
LIFE
The Ford Driving Skills for Life
program has touched more
than 340,000 U.S. high school
students since it was launched

the Governors Highway Safety
Association (GHSA) and a
panel of safety experts, this
free and comprehensive
international program teaches
teens about safe driving
through a combination of
ride-and-drive experiences,
educational materials,
customized in-school events
and an interactive website.
