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.
Note: Because the Mott Foundation focuses on grantmaking that aligns with the goals and objectives of our program teams, and because we stick with issues and organizations for the long haul, there are limited funds to support new work in any given year. For these reasons, as of January 2025, the Foundation does not accept unsolicited letters of inquiry or proposals.
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 making grants through our four program teams — Civil Society, Environment, Flint Area and Youth Engagement — we also support unusual or unique opportunities to address significant national and international problems. Proposals for these Exploratory and Special Projects grants are by invitation only. Explore Grantee Resources Learn about Mott’s reporting guidelines and find important resources and forms.

The dollar figures are small and the strategic value is not. Here is how to read a two-stage cohort program, and why the vocabulary this fund chose is itself the lesson.
