General Purposes Grant Renewal
To apply for a general purposes grant renewal from the Mott Foundation, you must submit a set of detailed documents about your organization. In order to allow for adequate proposal review and processing time, please submit your request to the Foundation at least 60 days prior to the end of the current grant period.
Your request/proposal need not be lengthy (normally not longer than 10-15 pages), but must contain the following:
- A cover letter signed by an authorized officer of the organization. The letter should be prepared on the organization's stationery or letterhead and should include the amount of funds requested and the specific period of time during which the grant funds would be spent.
- A brief summary of results or accomplishments during the current grant period.
- Objectives for the renewal grant period including any substantial changes.
- Your organization's institutional budget that coincides with the renewal grant period.
- A copy of your organization's annual report and its audited financial statements. If these are not available, then please provide a copy of the organization's internally prepared financial statements for the most recently completed fiscal year. (For organizations outside the United States, these documents do not need to be translated into English.)
If your organization is located outside the United States, then see the General FAQs and the Affidavit FAQs of the For Grantees section for additional requirements. For domestic grantees, if your organization's advance ruling period expires during the current grant period, then please provide a copy of your final IRS determination letter with your renewal request.
In addition, please be aware that a renewal request cannot be processed if a required report for any grant your organization has with the Foundation is overdue or unacceptable.
