Charles Stewart Mott Foundation

Mott was a leading industrialist in Flint through his association with General Motors.

It supports nonprofit programs throughout the United States and, on a limited basis, internationally.

Some organizations that the foundation has funded are the Kettering University, Public/Private Ventures, The Nature Conservancy, University of Michigan, Jobs for the Future, Afterschool Alliance, Kentucky Child Now, Flint Institute of Arts and Focus: HOPE.

[6] Starting in 1928, the foundation made annual gifts to the Flint Institute of Arts.

In 1969 with a law passed limiting what private family foundations could hold of a corporation, the foundation gave a large number of shares to the Mott Children's Health Center, a Flint charitable medical organization founded in 1939, to be below the 35% limit.
