The Nina Mason Pulliam Charitable Trust |
Welcome
to Connections!
Dear Readers,
While winter is winding down in Indianapolis, our state’s economy continues to struggle, like it is in almost every state in the country. 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 $300,000 to the Community Emergency Relief Fund, which is being so ably managed by the Central Indiana United Way and the 211 Call for Help organization.
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 $1.87 million in grants to 21 Indiana 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 Indiana and Arizona.
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 IUPUI or Ivy Tech Community College-Central Indiana Campus.
As
always, we welcome your comments and ideas for Connections. |
