Charles Stewart Mott Foundation

The Charles Stewart Mott Foundation is a charitable foundation founded in 1926 by Charles Stewart Mott of Flint, Michigan. Mott was the leading industrialist in Flint through his association with General Motors.

The foundation administers funds through four programs — Civil Society, Environment, Flint Area, and Pathways out of Poverty. They also fund Exploratory and Special Projects. It is committed to supporting projects that promote a just, equitable and sustainable society. It supports nonprofit programs throughout the United States and, on a limited basis, internationally.

In 2006, the Foundation had year-end total assets of $2.6 billion, and made 545 grants totaling $107.3 million.

His son Stewart Rawlings Mott has a separate charity called the Stewart R. Mott Charitable Trust.

His widow Ruth Rawlings Mott established the Ruth Mott Foundation.
