Description
1) Objective
The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation endeavors to strengthen, promote, and, where necessary, defend the contributions of the humanities and the arts to human flourishing and to the well-being of diverse and democratic societies. To this end, it supports exemplary institutions of higher education and culture as they renew and provide access to an invaluable heritage of ambitious, path-breaking work.
Grants are disbursed in these core areas:
- Higher learning
- Humanities in place
- Arts and culture
- Public knowledge
2) Eligibility
Mellon makes most of its grants to organisations in the United States that have been determined by the IRS to be section 501(c)(3) charities, as well as organizations outside the United States that are equivalent to US public charities.
3) Location
They fund projects worldwide (most of their funding goes to the US but also to Africa (South Africa), Asia, Latin America and Europe).
4) Budget
Their annual grant budget is around $500 million for an average of 450 grants ranging from $5,000 up to various million $.
4) Application
Their staff seek out and get to know innovative organisations, scholars, and creators before inviting them to submit a proposal for funding. Most Mellon grants are made through these invitations. They also welcome inquiries from organisations whose work aligns with our current strategies – they can submit an inquiry for more information. Occasionally, they issue open calls for proposals (you can sign up for our emails to be notified).
