Ford Made in America is the largest known orchestra consortium, creating a national network through which each participating orchestra has access to resources that would never be available to an orchestra of its size on its own. The program exemplifies the vitality of America's orchestras and composers, a spirit of partnership, and a commitment to creativity.

Ford Made in America is spearheaded by two national music service organizations: the League of American Orchestras and Meet The Composer. Each participating orchestra contributes to the commissioning fund and, in turn, performs the new work during the premiere season.

Ford Made in America is made possible by Ford Motor Company Fund, the philanthropic arm of Ford Motor Company.

Major support is also provided by the National Endowment for the Arts, with additional funding from The Aaron Copland Fund for Music, Francis Goelet Charitable Lead Trusts, and The Amphion Foundation.
