The Stewart R Mott Foundation operated until June 30th, 2022, championing a philosophy deeply rooted in the Mott family motto, "Spectemur Agendo" or "Let us be known by our deeds." Since its inception in 1968, the foundation supported progressive organizations focused on systemic change through strategic grantmaking, often providing initial funding to those that might not yet qualify for larger grants. Having closed its operations, the foundation emphasized the impact of small grants in building capacity and enhancing fundraising leverage for emerging organizations. Although the foundation will no longer accept applications or continue its grantmaking, its legacy is preserved through numerous impactful initiatives it supported over the years.
