Inquiries
In the Humanities in Place program, Mellon makes grants to institutions and organizations, not to individuals. While we are unable to consider uninvited proposals, qualifying organizations are welcome to submit inquiries. Please do not send inquiries about possibilities for support to more than one program. If you already have an account on Mellon’s grantee portal, please contact program staff directly. Otherwise, please submit an inquiry through the grantee portal at https://mellon.fluxx.io.
Grantmaking Policies and Guidelines
Please see Our Grantmaking for more information regarding the submission of proposals, reporting requirements, grant modification procedures, and grantmaking policies.
Other Funding Opportunities
