About
Neal Hegarty is the Mott Foundation’s vice president of Programs. He oversees grantmaking in the Foundation’s four program areas and works closely with both senior management and program staff in designing and implementing the Foundation’s grantmaking strategies.
Hegarty joined the Mott Foundation in 2000, working on both the Flint Area and Pathways Out of Poverty programs. In 2008, he took over as director of the Flint Area program. He was named vice president and associate director of Programs in 2011 and, in the following year, vice president of Programs.
Throughout his career, Hegarty has been an active and enthusiastic participant on many committees and boards — both in service to philanthropy and in Mott’s hometown of Flint. Currently, he serves as chair of the Governor’s Office of Foundation Liaison advisory committee, member of the Flint & Genesee Group board of directors, and member of both the Council of Michigan Foundations public policy committee and advisory cabinet. Hegarty previously served on the boards of the Foundation Center and Candid, as a member of the Michigan State University political science advisory committee, and as chair of the Council of Michigan Foundations.
Hegarty holds a bachelor’s degree in political science from Texas Tech University and a master’s in public policy and administration from Michigan State University. Before joining the Foundation, he was assistant director of the Capital Area Literacy Coalition in Lansing, Michigan.
