“The YMCA of Greater Flint has been profoundly impacted by the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation’s unwavering generosity and support. Our partnership, which began with a relationship with C.S. Mott in the early 1900s, has grown into a powerful alliance rooted in shared values and a commitment to community well-being. Their steadfast belief in our mission to build a healthy spirit, mind, and body for all was especially vital during the pandemic, providing emergency grant dollars to ensure the Downtown Flint YMCA would remain open and available to the community when it mattered most.
“Thanks to Mott’s timely and essential support, the YMCA was able to continue offering programs that promoted health, connection, and hope to children, families, and seniors across Flint. The Mott Foundation’s approach goes beyond funding; they listen, collaborate, and invest in people and long-term impact, making them an exceptional community partner.
“The Charles Stewart Mott Foundation’s remarkable contribution to the new Downtown Y facility is a testament to their trust in the YMCA as a cornerstone of community well-being. This transformative investment will empower us to broaden our reach and deepen our impact through youth development, healthy living, and social responsibility for generations to come.”
