FAQ

• What is Team Pulte?

  Team Pulte is a 501(c)(3)tax-exempt organization that utilizes micro-donations from people to help those with critical needs. Our goal is to give qualified individuals and families the boost they need to get back on track towards a bright future for themselves and their families, respectively. All contributions are made with the understanding and acknowledgment that Team Pulte has complete control and administration over the use of the donated funds. Donations are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law. Applicants must have fallen on “hard luck” for their circumstances to have come about and must actively be working remedying the situation. Please read more under “ Inspiration ” to learn more about our roots.

• How do I submit a grant request?

  Requests may be submitted directly on our website portal. This is the only way a request will be accepted and reviewed. We will not respond to requests made by e-mail or social media.

• How are grant requests validated?

  Approved volunteers will screen each grant request to gain an understanding of the applicant’s needs. The team will evaluate all requests for aid on objective, nondiscriminatory bases. Specifically, Team Pulte will use a rubric to qualify each request from the information provided via the website form as well as other organizational due diligence performed such as phone calls or e-mail communication with the applicant.

• If I do not receive a grant, are there other ways that I can be helped?
