Description
1) Objective
The Charles Stewart Mott Foundation affirms its founder’s vision of a world in which each individual’s quality of life is connected to the well-being of the community, both locally and globally. The Foundation makes grants in the U.S. and, on a limited geographic basis, internationally. The objective of the funding opportunity is to support the efforts of an engaged citizenry working to create accountable and responsive institutions, sound public policies and appropriate models of development that protect communities and the diversity and integrity of ecosystems around the world. The funding priorities include:
- Addressing climate change: They work to increase the use of renewable energy in developing countries, where more than 1 billion people lack access to electricity.
- Transforming Development Finance: They aim to shape international investment policies for energy and infrastructure projects in ways that protect people and the environment in developing nations.
- Addressing the Freshwater Challenge: They support efforts to secure sustainable levels of clean water for people and the environment, particularly in the Great Lakes basin.
- Special Initiatives: They support unique opportunities to advance environmental protection.
2) Eligibility
Eligible organisations are mainly non-profits from the US but foreign NGOs can also apply if they prove the same status.
3) Location
They fund projects worldwide and particularly in the Great Lakes basin.
4) Budget
The total annual grant budget for this grant program is around 23 million USD and they fund on average 80-100 grants. Grants range from $10,000-$4,000,000.
5) Application
If you are interested in submitting an idea to them for funding, the first step is to complete a letter of inquiry (LOI) form (can be done online or sent in hardcopy). The LOI will help their program staff determine the relevance of the proposed project to their programs and provide you with advice on whether to submit a full proposal. Prior to submitting an LOI, they ask you to learn more about their programs, funding interests, funding limitations and guidelines for organizations located outside the United States.
