Making the Most of Your Friendship!
Physical Friendship cards are not mailed as part of our sustainability initiatives. Friends of Ford House receive a digital card in their email and can add it to their smartphone’s digital wallet by following the instructions below.
Below are some FAQs to hopefully better help you navigate our Friendship portal to purchase, renew, gift Friendships, and more. For other questions about Friendship, please get in touch with friends@fordhouse.org or call 313-884-4222.
Friendships at Ford House are not considered tax-deductible donations. When you become a Friend, you receive tangible benefits such as complimentary admission, special discounts, and exclusive access to events and programs. Because these benefits carry a fair market value, the IRS does not recognize your Friendship as a charitable gift.
