Why We Care
We partner with groups around the world to advance sustainability.
For more than 40 years, the Mott Foundation has partnered with organizations around the world to steward natural resources and strengthen community well-being. We’ve learned that true sustainability requires solutions that build economic opportunity, protect the environment and improve quality of life for all.
Strong communities start with a healthy environment.
