Techstination, your destination for gadgets and gear. I’m Fred Fishkin. Something a bit uplifting for this new year. Ford Philanthropy has reached an impressive milestone. It has become the first corporation to surpass 100 million dollars in global donations with Global Giving. Mike Schmidt is director of Economic Mobility and Global Community Development…“We try to take a holistic approach to it and it’s all sorts of different kinds of work. We have community centers in Ford communities around the globe. We have mobile dental and medical offices that go out into communities that really need that support. We have education programs that are helping prepare young people for the future of work. So it’s a range of things that we do.”Often without a lot of fanfare.
