"The Pulte Family Foundation couldn't be happier to come alongside PulteGroup in this endeavor. The Foundation is committed to giving back nationwide to communities that have supported Pulte Homes over the last sixty-plus years,” said Nancy Pulte Rickard, President of the Pulte Family Charitable Foundation. “Bill would be proud of the leaders at PulteGroup for continuing his legacy of giving, and I think he would be elated to know that the company and the family were in partnership for such a worthy cause.
