Programs

The Nina Mason Pulliam Charitable Trust provides grants that focus on the areas of service Nina Pulliam supported during her lifetime:

Helping People in Need

Protecting Animals and Nature

Enriching community Life

The Trust awards grants for program projects and capital needs, and provides application opportunities three times during the calendar year.  We prefer to disperse funds as a one-year grant, but will consider projects of up to three years. 

The Trust continues to be one of the few funders in the Indianapolis and Phoenix areas that take risks with fledgling organizations to help them develop professional organizational skills and competencies.  This parallels supporting the program and capital needs of mature organizations that seek to expand and strengthen services through innovation and greater efficiencies.
