Ford C3: Building Sustainable Communities
At Ford, we understand to be a truly sustainable organization, we must play an active role in the larger
community, helping to make lives better by address a wide range of vital issues from education to
safety to mobility. In its 14th year, Ford C3 once again requests proposals for community-based projects
that address, in a fresh and creative way, a tangible, unmet need, making lives better around the broad
theme of Building Sustainable Communities. In order to be considered in this year’s competition,
projects must address one the following six areas:
1. Mobility - Providing Access to Critical Services and Resources (ex. healthcare,
education, jobs, childcare, etc.)
2. Water
3. Social Enterprise – Creating a Business with a Social Purpose (taking an
entrepreneurial approach to solving community problems)
4. Safety
5. Workforce Development
6. Community Need – Creating a solution to a critical community issue
Through Ford C3, Ford Motor Company Fund supports and encourages students to design and develop
programs and addressing critical community needs, focusing on helping the community become a more
sustainable place to work and live. It is our hope that participating students will find their creativity and
resourcefulness engaged in meaningful and unexpected ways.
