Ford will donate up to $3.5 million to military charities through a new effort by its Proud to Honor program that runs through the end of the year.

Ford and its dealers will add $100 to the total for every social media post that salutes a member of the U.S. Military that includes the #proudtohonor tag.

Proceeds from the program will be shared among the Blue Star Families, Guitars for Vets, DAV, Workshops for Warriors, Oscar Mike, Bunker Labs and the Boulder Crest Foundation.
