Ford uses its dealership empire to revamp how corporate America helps charities

Ford is activating its national network of dealerships to directly support some of the nation's biggest nonprofits, such as the American Red Cross, Feeding America, Habitat for Humanity and Team Rubicon. 

As part of Ford Philanthropy's "Building Together" initiative, which kicked off in June, the auto company is leveraging resources across its organization from its cars, employees and dealers, to help these organizations make a tangible impact. Ford Philanthropy is the global philanthropic arm of Ford.
