The Nina Mason Pulliam Charitable Trust |
Welcome
to Connections!
Dear Readers,
While tourists and Phoenicians alike are enjoying balmy spring weather, Arizona’s economy continues to struggle very seriously. Subsequently, the Nina Mason Pulliam Charitable Trust’s family of grantees, which are predominantly in the area of Helping People in Need, are facing ongoing financial challenges without experiencing a decline in individuals and families seeking assistance in finding work, keeping their homes and meeting basic needs. Their tenacity, creativity and commitment are inspirational.
In response, at the February board meeting the Trustees approved a grant of $400,000 for a collaborative emergency fund. To date 11 funders have pledged over $1 million to support 15 Maricopa County nonprofit agencies on the front lines of assisting those most in need of basic services. The Valley of the Sun United Way again is coordinating the collaboration.
Recognizing that present times are difficult, the Trust also remains optimistic about the future, especially through continued funding of programs that enrich educational experiences for children and youth, as well as improve and conserve the environment, often through collaborative initiatives.
In total, the Trust awarded $1.35 million in grants to 19 Arizona organizations and projects in its first round of 2010 funding. I am pleased to share the organizations and their specific grants with you in this e-mail. The Trust will distribute approximately $11.5 million in 2010 in Arizona and Indiana.
April 1 is the deadline for interested applicants to apply to be a member of the 10th cohort of Nina Mason Pulliam Legacy Scholars. Please visit our Nina Scholars web site page for information about how to apply to either Arizona State University or Maricopa Community Colleges.
As
always, we welcome your comments and ideas for Connections. |
