For the future, I am sure that guided by the wisdom of our trustees the Mott Foundation will continue to support the most important asset we have — PEOPLE. Doing things for people rather than with people happily is a thing of the past. The Mott Foundation’s concept perhaps might be best described as one of ‘creative flexibility.’ This means to experiment, to venture, to provide birth and mobility for new ideas which will move forward toward solution of the problems a community faces in our present social structure.
