The Ford Fund is also separately granting $2.5M to support Team Rubicon’s Ready Reserve Fund over the next 5 years, which allows Team Rubicon to provide “no-cost services for vulnerable communities as soon as disaster strikes,” Ford Fund President Mary Culler said to Yahoo Finance. “It also funds mitigation, preparedness, and recovery efforts, ensuring equitable aid reaches those most in need throughout the disaster cycle,” Culler said.
Team Rubicon’s partnership with Ford is its sole relationship with an automaker. For its part, Ford says helping communities in need is part of its DNA, and that the company’s electrification efforts will hopefully help in part to mitigate environmental disasters brought on by rising CO2 levels in the atmosphere.
