The Mott Foundation’s 2017 Annual Report shares highlights from our four grantmaking programs: Flint Area, Education, Civil Society and Environment.

Celebrating nine decades of grantmaking, the Mott Foundation’s latest annual report takes a look back at the grantees, people and events that helped shape our philanthropic mission, our grantmaking practices and our goals for maintaining healthy and vigorous communities across the globe.

As the world changes, so the Mott Foundation strives to adapt, retool and rethink, writes William S. White, who shares his 45-year perspective on the value of endowed philanthropy and its flexibility in adapting to change.
