Funding pattern
What this funder pays for, at what size, and how to position adjacent work. Read from their filings, with every number checked against the record.
Where the money goes
- Flint and Genesee County revitalization, facilities and community institutions
- Afterschool, summer learning and statewide afterschool network infrastructure
- Great Lakes water quality, freshwater ecosystems and Michigan environmental protection
- Community foundation and community philanthropy field building abroad
- Civil society, legal empowerment and international financial institution accountability
- Youth entrepreneurship, workforce training and children's savings accounts
Typical grant
Median grant is $35,000, with the middle half running $4,500 to $150,000, so most of the portfolio is modest. The eight-figure checks go almost entirely to Flint capital projects and anchor institutions: the Community Foundation of Greater Flint, Kettering University, Mott Community College, Beecher schools, Uptown Reinvestment. National and international program grants cluster at $300,000 to $1,000,000, and repeat funding to the same partners across years is the norm rather than the exception.
Their words
Phrases from their own grant descriptions, worth speaking back to them.
- “community vitality”
- “expanded learning programs”
- “statewide afterschool networks”
- “economic development and community revitalization”
- “civil society”
- “Flint kids”
Positioning adjacent work
- Tie adjacent work to a named Mott theme: afterschool quality, Great Lakes water, or community philanthropy infrastructure.
- Ask $300,000 to $500,000 for a national research, policy or technical assistance project; that is their standard band.
- If work touches Flint or Genesee County residents directly, say so early and concretely.
- Emphasize field-level capacity building and networks over single-site programs; they fund coalitions and learning communities.
Worth knowing: Flint dominates: 1,170 of 2,850 grants went to Michigan recipients, and the largest Flint grantees (Community Foundation of Greater Flint, Uptown Reinvestment, Communities First, Mott Community College) appear repeatedly with multiple awards a year, which reads as long-standing relationships rather than open competition. Outside Michigan the money concentrates in Washington DC policy and field intermediaries and in overseas community foundation and civil society partners, so an unconnected researcher is best served entering through an existing grantee network.
