| Profile: |
The Charles
Steward Mott Foundation was established by Charles Stewart Mott
in 1926. In its mission statement the Foundation states that
it seeks to strengthen, in people and their organisations, what
Mr Mott called 'the capacity for accomplishment'. Building
the capacity of the not-for-profit sector has been a central
theme of the Mott Foundation's grantmaking since its inception.
See the 1998 Annual Report, Environment Programme section. |
| Approach: |
The Mott
Foundation has four programme areas: Civil Society, Environment,
Flint and Pathways Out of Poverty. Most of its work in capacity
building is done in the Environment and Pathways Out of Poverty
programmes, but is also a part of the other programmes. Individuals
and institutions are targeted. |
| Finance: |
In 2000, the Mott Foundation made grants totalling US$152.9 million, including
US$41.5 million for the Civil Society Programme, US$19.9 million
for the Environment Programme, and US$53.5 million for the Pathways
Out of Poverty Programme. |
