A note to all members of the Flint community

During these uncertain times, we understand that many people are struggling and concerned. We want you to know that our work with and support for the community are not stopping.

  • Our Flint Area grantmaking team is in frequent contact with grantees to learn about their needs and priorities during this difficult time.
  • We are still responding to grant proposals and are accessible via phone or email to help you.
  • We are coordinating with local philanthropic and nonprofit organizations to see how we can best work together to serve the Flint community.

To help address the needs of the Flint community during the pandemic, we have made a series of grants to help our hometown.

The Mott Foundation learned during the Flint water crisis that, while we must take immediate action to help address problems and relieve suffering, we also need to take a longer view so we’re able to help with future challenges as they unfold. We want to assure the Flint community that we intend to be here to work with you to address the challenges we face — today and in the future.

When individuals partner with their communities, help, hope and opportunity follow.

How It Works

Flint’s well-being is at the root of our hometown grantmaking.

For more than 90 years, Mott has helped people and organizations work together to support and strengthen the community we call “home.” That deep and lasting commitment has perhaps never been more important than now as we continue to help Flint recover and rise from its water crisis. To those ends, our local grantmaking is helping our hometown respond to its immediate needs, reinvigorate and build upon the very real progress that was underway before the crisis occurred, and position itself to meet the tough challenges — and embrace the promising opportunities — that lie ahead.
