Passion into Purpose: The People Behind Global Caring Month 2025

At Ford, our commitment to strengthening communities comes to life through real action.  A great example of this is Global Caring Month, our annual employee-led volunteering effort that makes an impact around the world. This year marks the 20th anniversary of the Ford Volunteer Corps established by Bill Ford and so it was inspiring to see how many employees took the opportunity to give back. 

Throughout the month of September, thousands of Ford employees stepped up, turning their passion into purpose. By tackling vital local priorities – from supporting youth programs to disaster preparedness and providing access to nutritious food – their collective energy and enthusiasm touched countless lives, demonstrating the profound difference we can make when we work together. 

This year’s Global Caring Month was especially meaningful as it also served as a cornerstone of the global launch of Ford Building Together, a company-wide initiative that unites the full power of Ford – our philanthropy, employees, dealer network, products, and expertise – behind a common goal: to build and rebuild stronger, more resilient communities for future generations.  

Our team members’ heart for service and unwavering commitment to their communities fills me with pride and gratitude. It’s a testament to the core values that drive our entire company, and a reminder that moving people forward extends far beyond the vehicles we build.

Our Volunteers, Their Stories  

While numbers tell a powerful story, the real impact is best understood through the experiences of those who lived it.  

Looking Ahead: The Power of Building Together

As we reflect on the incredible achievements of Global Caring Month 2025, we are more energized than ever. This year saw record-breaking participation from our Ford team, who submitted more ideas for volunteer projects in their communities than ever before. This powerful spirit of engagement is what fuels the continuous journey of Ford Building Together, powered by the collective strength of our employees, our partners, and the communities we serve.
