The Charles Stewart Mott Foundation supports efforts that promote a just, equitable and sustainable society. We’re working to expand access to youth entrepreneurship because it can help young people build mindsets and skills — creativity, problem-solving, resilience and agency — that promote success in school and life.
Entrepreneurial experiences like the Mott Million Dollar Challenge show young people that their voices matter, their ideas can become real solutions and their communities need their leadership.
