A Century of Giving
C.S. Mott’s belief in the partnership between people and their communities helped to shape the foundation that bears his name and remains the guiding principle of our grantmaking.
For a century, the Mott Foundation has sought to support and strengthen the well-being of all aspects of community — from individuals and families to the institutions that serve them.
We continue to refine and broaden our work to reflect changing conditions in our hometown of Flint and communities around the world. Through our programs focused on the Flint Area, Youth Engagement, Environment and Civil Society, we pursue the Mott Foundation’s mission of promoting a just, equitable and sustainable society.
