Charity work Audrey Hepburn Children's Fund A year after his mother's death in 1993, Ferrer founded the Audrey Hepburn Children's Fund (originally named Hollywood for Children Inc.), Ferrer brought the exhibition "Timeless Audrey" on a world tour to raise money for the foundation. He served as chairman of the fund before resigning in 2012, turning over the position to Dotti. In 2017, Ferrer was sued by the fund for alleged self-serving conduct. Ferrer's suit against the fund was dismissed in March 2018 due to the complaint's failure to include Dotti as a defendant. In 2019, the court sided with Ferrer, with the judge ruling that the charity could not utilize Hepburn's image without the consent of both Ferrer and Dotti.

Other ventures From 2014 to 2018, Ferrer was ambassador of the annual Rare Disease Days.
