  Mellon’s Public Knowledge program supports the creation and preservation of the cultural and scholarly record—vast and ever-expanding—that documents society’s complex, intertwined humanity. The program works with archives, presses, and a range of university, public, and other local, national, and global libraries that are foundational to knowledge production and distribution in culture and the humanities.As a program associate in the Public Knowledge program, I support the pre-and post-award management of approximately $40 million in annual grantmaking, with a particular focus on assisting first-time grantees from traditionally marginalized and underfunded institutions. I also review the narrative and financial reports and facilitate modification requests for a portfolio of over 100 active grant projects totaling over $80 million. Show less
