conflict, the Mellon Foundation remained focused on the transformative and vital power of the arts, culture, and humanities. Our grantmaking was grounded in the programs and institutions that, along with Mellon itself, collectively serve as cornerstones for unfettered and diverse creative work, scholarship, and accurate and inclusive preservation and commemoration efforts in the United States. Throughout 2024, we made certain our work did its part to further strengthen our grantees and organizational partners—and remain ready to do so in the months to come.</p> <p class="paragraphTypography">The nearly 650 grants issued in 2024, totaling about $540 million in grantmaking, broadly fueled activation and engagement among the vastly different American communities we support. Many of these collectively undertaken efforts are addressing problems and generating possibilities for artistic expression, historical inquiry, and academic freedom. They include groups ranging from literary writers to civic leaders; they take place in spaces such as rural geographic regions and academic fields of study; and they are born from collaborations like those between local arts and culture institutions and the people they directly serve.</p> <p class="paragraphTypography">Mellon’s new Frontera Culture Fund, an initiative launched this year through our Arts & Culture program, is advancing the artistic visions driven by cross-cultural and transnational communities sharing both common objectives and complex challenges in the US-Mexico borderlands.</p> <p class="paragraphTypography">Public Memory Labs, which were funded this year at local libraries through Mellon’s Public Knowledge program area, are preserving personal histories “from Appalachia to the American Southwest,” often with community members who do not otherwise have the resources to bridge the digital divide or whose cultural histories have been underrepresented in American archives. Art installations that were funded under the auspices of Mellon’s Puerto Rico initiative have been taking shape in the archipelago’s El Yunque National Forest, where community members are invited to engage with these unexpected perspectives on creativity and the local ecosystem.</p></div></div><div class="mf-Hh mf-aa"

Our grantmaking was grounded in the programs and institutions that, along with Mellon itself, collectively serve as cornerstones for unfettered and diverse creative work, scholarship, and accurate and inclusive preservation and commemoration efforts in the United States. Throughout 2024, we made certain our work did its part to further strengthen our grantees and organizational partners—and remain ready to do so in the months to come. \n\nThe nearly 650 grants issued in 2024, totaling about $540 million in grantmaking, broadly fueled activation and engagement among the vastly different American communities we support. Many of these collectively undertaken efforts are addressing problems and generating possibilities for artistic expression, historical inquiry, and academic freedom. They include groups ranging from literary writers to civic leaders; they take place in spaces such as rural geographic regions and academic fields of study; and they are born from collaborations like those between local arts and culture institutions and the people they directly serve. \n\nMellon’s new Frontera Culture Fund, an initiative launched this year through our Arts \u0026 Culture program, is advancing the artistic visions driven by cross-cultural and transnational communities sharing both common objectives and complex challenges in the US-Mexico borderlands. \n\nPublic Memory Labs, which were funded this year at local libraries through Mellon’s Public Knowledge program area, are preserving personal histories “from Appalachia to the American Southwest,” often with community members who do not otherwise have the resources to bridge the digital divide or whose cultural histories have been underrepresented in American archives. Art installations that were funded under the auspices of Mellon’s Puerto Rico initiative have been taking shape in the archipelago’s El Yunque National Forest, where community members are invited to engage with these unexpected perspectives on creativity and the local ecosystem.

As president of the Mellon Foundation, she leads a multi-billion-dollar philanthropy and the nation’s largest funder of the arts and humanities, supporting educational institutions and cultural organizations while envisioning and guiding new initiatives to build just communities across the United States. \n\nPrior to joining the Foundation, Dr. Alexander served as the director of Creativity and Free Expression at the Ford Foundation, shaping Ford’s grantmaking vision in arts and culture, journalism, and documentary film. In this role, she guided the organization in examining how the arts and visual storytelling can empower communities and serve as vital tools for collective expression and enlightenment. While at Ford, she co-designed the Art for Justice Fund, an initiative that uses art and advocacy to address the crisis of mass incarceration.\n\nAcross her esteemed career as a scholar and educator, beginning with an English professorship at University of Chicago, where she was honored with the Quantrell Award for Excellence in Undergraduate Teaching, Dr. Alexander has taught and inspired generations of students. She held distinguished professorships at Smith College, Yale University—where she taught for over 15 years and helped rebuild and chaired the African American Studies Department—and Columbia University. In 1997, Dr. Alexander was appointed inaugural director of The Boutelle-Day Poetry Center at Smith College and in 2015, she was appointed Yale University’s inaugural Frederick Iseman Professor of Poetry.\n\nAn author or co-author of fifteen books, Dr. Alexander was twice a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize: for poetry with American Sublime and for biography with her 2015 memoir, the New York Times best-seller The Light of the World. In 2009, she composed and delivered the poem “Praise Song for the Day” for President Barack Obama's inauguration. Her latest book, released in 2022, is *The Trayvon Generation*. \n\nDr. Alexander is a widely sought after speaker and has contributed to countless selection committees and juries. Currently, she serves on the boards of Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, New York-Presbyterian Hospital, the Pulitzer Prize, and is Chancellor Emeritus of the Academy of American Poets. She has been awarded ten honorary doctorates and is internationally recognized for her poetry, scholarship, and thought leadership. Time named Dr. Alexander one of the 100 Most Influential People of 2022, and in 2019 she was awarded Harvard University’s W.E.B. Du Bois Medal. In 2021, Dr. Alexander was recognized as Officier de l’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres by the French Ministry of Culture, one of the country’s highest cultural honors. \n\nDr. Alexander holds a BA from Yale University, an MA from Boston University, and a PhD in English from the University of Pennsylvania. She lives and works in New York City.","relatedSectionTitle":"Read more news about Elizabeth","quickLinks":[{"link":"https://twitter.com/ProfessorEA","label":"Follow on X","__typename":"ExternalLink"}],"quote":{"audio":{"src":"//assets.ctfassets.net/nslp74meuw3d/73oc46Zq3z9GxRr4jZbTbV/4d9cb6cd2043fcf5e61b2bc6a8c63d7e/Mellon_Elizabeth_Alexander_2_v_FINAL.mp3","title":"EA bio audio","description":"The arts, culture, and humanities are liberatory forces that are a means to empowerment and enlightenment.","mediaHeight":null,"mediaWidth":null,"__typename":"Media"},"quoteImage":null,"quoteLink":null,"linkText":null,"attribution":"Elizabeth Alexander\nPresident","text":"The arts, culture, and humanities are liberatory forces that are a means to empowerment and enlightenment.","isTwitterImage":false,"twitterUsername":null,"__typename":"Quote"},"areaOfWork":{"id":"411JppMIxhAEx8jOOqY3x0","name":"Office of the President","__typename":"Department"},"image":{"src":"//images.ctfassets.net/nslp74meuw3d/6mz6CfMeBmIGJ7U8K1ygY0/c8b5943dbcd21b69423d14e22e97d380/SH_01_171_R4.png","title":"Headshot of Elizabeth Alexander","description":"Photo: Sharif Hamza for Mellon Foundation","mediaHeight":964,"mediaWidth":750,"__typename":"Media"},"spotlight":null,"relatedNews":[{"id":"2tIG3xBcbVKYJ2zu73O8N0","eyebrow":"Mellon news","title":"How Elizabeth Alexander (and $500 million) changed the nature of the monuments we revere","slug":"how-mellon-chief-elizabeth-alexander-and-usd500-million-changed-the-nature","externalNewsUrl":"https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/story/2024-03-14/elizabeth-alexander-mellon-foundation-monuments","description":"Alexander says the project has been an important one — since it not only reconsiders the nature of monuments, it is a way of surfacing a history that had been overwritten.","type":"MELLON_IN_THE_NEWS","publisherLogo":{"src":"//images.ctfassets.net/nslp74meuw3d/23cqAFIfoYDVQrORsr0uDx/621b49a03e285c4cec459a724828b95e/Media_LaTimes.svg","title":"LaTimes logo","description":null,"mediaHeight":50,"mediaWidth":200,"__typename":"Media"},"articleBody":null,"externalPerson":null,"articlePerson":null,"articleDate":"2024-03-14","hideArticleDate":false,"articleHeroImage":null,"__typename":"NestedArticle"},{"slug":"2023","__typename":"NestedAnnualReport"},{"id":"2iaJz0IIJCr47c8kOECuqn","eyebrow":"Mellon news","title":"Op-Ed: My family taught me ‘the act of voting is democracy made manifest’","slug":"elizabeth-alexander-my-family-taught-me-act-voting-democracy-made-manifest","externalNewsUrl":"https://edition.cnn.com/2022/10/26/opinions/democracy-black-vote-family-poem-alexander/index.html","description":"For CNN.com, Mellon Foundation President Elizabeth Alexander writes about the legacy of voting and civic engagement across generations.","type":"MELLON_IN_THE_NEWS","publisherLogo":{"src":"//images.ctfassets.net/nslp74meuw3d/3Dm8MsMdwVdQLRnGEppG7a/8310cde75222058b9927951296d90f4c/Media_CNN.svg","title":"CNN logo","description":null,"mediaHeight":50,"mediaWidth":200,"__typename":"Media"},"articleBody":null,"externalPerson":null,"articlePerson":null,"articleDate":"2022-10-26","hideArticleDate":false,"articleHeroImage":null,"__typename":"NestedArticle"},{"id":"5bvuHHV1BRHpHbumvC7BfV","eyebrow":"Mellon news","title":"TIME 100: Elizabeth Alexander","slug":"time-100-elizabeth-alexander","externalNewsUrl":"https://time.com/collection/100-most-influential-people-2022/6177774/elizabeth-alexander/","description":"In its annual issue of leaders, Mellon President Elizabeth Alexander is named one of the most influential people of 2022.
