Grantmaking across all areas supports ideas and organizations that contribute to a more connected, creative, and just society.
Mellon actively works with our grantee partners, and we are deeply immersed in the fields in which we invest.
The Foundation makes grants in four core program areas—Higher Learning, Public Knowledge, Arts and Culture, and Humanities in Place—and through its signature Presidential Initiatives.
We make grants to actively unlock the power in the arts and humanities that helps connect us all.
