| Our newsletter is appropriately named
Connections. As the name implies, the newsletter is not only
a way to demonstrate the connection between our grantmaking
in Arizona and Indiana, but also a way to connect the Nina Mason
Pulliam Charitable Trust with you. In the coming quarterly issues,
we will have the opportunity to highlight our priority areas
of giving, as well as illustrate each area through our grantees
and the valuable contributions they are making.
We also want to reaffirm our commitment to be accessible
to the grantseeking public. Our electronic newsletter utilizes
the Internet and we encourage you to use the same tool for
communicating with our
staff. E-mails are always welcome and we pledge to respond
in a timely manner. We also welcome direct conversation and
view our grantmaking as a continuing dialogue with the nonprofit
community. Unfortunately, time does not permit meeting with
everyone face-to-face. To be fair and equitable, we have found
phone conferences to be the best use of time for all parties.
Whether you have specific questions, want to schedule a conference
call or simply want to keep us informed about your programs,
we encourage you to connect with us.
Since this is the first edition of Connections, we would
like to introduce you to our dedicated staff
that comprises the Nina Mason Pulliam Trust family. Some may
be more familiar to you than others, but each is essential
in helping improve the lives of people and supporting the
causes Mrs. Pulliam loved in her home states of Indiana and
Arizona.
