The Charles Stewart Mott Foundation has long been interested and involved In community self-improvement from within neighborhoods to within city hall, using the processes of education, social welfare and environmental development. Since its founding in 1926 as a private non-operating foundation, it has funded programs aimed at improving the quality of fife through individuals and their communities. Charles Stewart Mott, a pioneer in the automobile industry, established the Foundation out of a sense of responsibility toward his home community, Flint, Michigan where he helped develop the community education concept, which ties together ail learning and seeks to involve everyone in the determination of their fives and of the fife of the community. The Foundation's assets are now about $471 million, and though based in Flint, its activities have expanded to encompass the discovery and demonstration of principles undergirding community functioning everywhere. 3 OWL_ vow arms lid/ INTRODUCTION This book offers a summary of the 361 grants made by the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation in 1982. It contains "fact sheets" on grants for $15,000 or more. All grants for amounts under $15,000 are listed with brief descriptions. The fact sheets tel! the reasons for grants why projects and programs are needed. Most of them tell how the grants meet the objectives of the Foundation, what they might accomplish, how they are related to other Foundation-supported programs, how many people are served, how the money is used. Because the fact sheets were written when the grants were made, they do not cover results in most cases. The fact sheets are dated to help the ;wilder put the information into the proper time perspective. Often there is an illuminating comment by a person familiar with objectives, needs or possibilities. The grants are grouped by Foundation missions, the statements of objectives that guide Foundation grant-making. The Foundation's communications department began writing the fact sheets to provide an instantly available source of information for members of the press and other persons inquiring about specific grants. The summaries have proved to be a valuable working tool within the Foundation and will, it is hoped, be equally valuable to persons lo_ Ang for understanding of the Foundation's philosophy and purposes and for more information than is available in the annual report. iii Index Index entries of grantee are in bold-faced type.
