| The 92nd Street Y's partnership with Ford represents a growing trend in philanthropy: the collaboration of nonprofits and corporations on humanitarian projects. The Ford Motor Company International Fellowship of the 92nd Street Y evolved out of the 92nd Street Y's 17-year relationship with the Ford Motor Company, which also supports the Y's On The Brink science education initiative for teenagers. |
