Obtaining Funding
Advice and instructions on obtaining funding from RIT
RIT exists to support worthy software development projects for the benefit of Mellon's not-for-profit constituencies, so we welcome your inquiries; however, we ask that you first review our project Criteria and Priorities, to determine whether your project is potentially a good fit with our mission.
If you are unsure whether RIT is the most appropriate Mellon program for your project, you have two choices: you may address your initial inquiry to two or more of our programs; or you may address it solely to us but ask us explicitly to discuss it with one or more of our other programs as well. Please do not send the same proposal to more than one Mellon program without informing each program officer that the other(s) have received it as well.
