Pulte Family Charitable Foundation Unveils $111 Million 'Legacy of Hope' Initiative
Pulte Family Charitable Foundation Launches 'Legacy of Hope'
The Pulte Family Charitable Foundation, renowned for its humanitarian efforts, has announced an impressive commitment of over $111 million dedicated to its new initiative, the "Legacy of Hope" projects. This extensive undertaking aims to shift the paradigm of philanthropy, broadening the Foundation's role from merely providing funds to actively building bridges among diverse partners. By coordinating efforts among nonprofits, private donors, and government entities, the Foundation aspires to create a far-reaching impact on the communities it serves.
