Leadership, Expertise,  and Service

My name is Samantha Saldaña. I have a strong background in grants and contracts management, serving as a Senior Grants & Contracts Manager at the Metis Foundation since 2016. With over 7 years of experience in this field, I assist in the grant negotiation and once the agreement is received, I assist in overseeing grants throughout their period of performance, ensuring due diligence in monitoring budgets, reporting dates, and renewal dates for all Metis foundation awards and agreements. In addition, I collaborate closely with our finance team and project managers to ensure that grants and contracts are meeting their goals, deadlines, and financial requirements.
