Alumni
Alumni of the Ford Foundation International Fellowships Program (IFP) were a global community of leaders dedicated to social justice. They became grassroots organizers, environmental activists, nonprofit organization founders, higher education policy makers, youth advocates, public health campaigners, and multimedia artists. They lived in urban centers and isolated villages and spoke over a dozen languages combined. And while they held widely divergent views about the root causes of and solutions for injustices in their countries, they shared at least two things in common: the IFP fellowship and a deep commitment to social change.
