About this grant
The project goal is to advance the Civil Society program’s objectives and outcomes by supporting exchange, networking and interaction among key nonprofits, practitioners and experts, including Mott Foundation grantees, working in the program’s thematic areas of interest. To this end, the Institute of International Education, Inc. will operate a travel and learning fund to support individuals and organizations working on civic space, community philanthropy, access to justice or other areas of interest to the Civil Society program. In the period 2021-24, the grantee supported almost 60 individuals to participate in learning events across a range of issue areas, including community philanthropy, digital human rights and indigenous access to civil justice. Based in New York, the Institute of International Education manages similar funds for foundations around the world.
