The Mott Foundation supports nonprofit organizations that are working to strengthen our hometown of Flint and communities around the world.
We stick with the issues we care about — and the grantees that have a record of success.
We believe long-term funding offers grantees stability, which allows them to focus on important work and pursue innovation.
We fund the core activities of our grantees, rather than requiring them to shape projects around shifting priorities. We believe our grantees are experts in their fields, and well-equipped to make the critical decisions that guide their work.
In addition to our regular grantmaking programs, found below, we also support unusual or unique opportunities addressing significant national and international problems. Proposals for these Exploratory and Special Projects grants are by invitation only.
