Mott Foundation Civil Society Funding

see www.mott.org

Charles Stewart Mott's central belief in the partnership of humanity was the
basis upon which the Foundation bearing his name was established. While this
has remained a guiding principle, the Foundation has refined and broadened
its grantmaking over time to reflect changing national and world conditions.

Through its four programs, and their more specific program areas, the
Foundation seeks to fulfill its mission of supporting efforts that promote a
just, equitable and sustainable society.

Inherent in all grantmaking is the desire to enhance the capacity of
individuals, families or institutions at the local level and beyond. The
Foundation hopes that its collective work in any program area could lead
toward systematic change.

This site provides detailed information about the C.S. Mott Foundation's
programs - Civil Society, Environment, Flint Area and Pathways Out of
Poverty. In addition to our four programs, we also fund Exploratory and
Special Projects that may lead to a program area over time, or unexpected
opportunities that address significant international and/or national
problems.

Through Civil Society Program Offices in Prague, Czech Republic and
Johannesburg, South Africa, we fund non-governmental organizations in
Central/Eastern Europe and South Africa.

We strongly encourage organizations that are seeking funding from the
Foundation to review all program information and applications guidelines
