The Pulte Family Charitable Foundation has made lasting investments at the University of Notre Dame to advance peace, purpose, and the common good. Through The Pulte Institute for Global Development and several initiatives within the Keough School of Global Affairs, we help turn bold research into real-world solutions for those living in poverty around the world. We have funded enrichment programs for first-generation college students, helping them thrive academically and personally as they navigate their Notre Dame journey.

We also fund scholarships for students who are driven to lead and serve, expanding opportunity for those with the passion to make a difference. At the heart of campus, Our Lady of the Lake World Peace Plaza (photo above) stands in honor of our founder, Bill Pulte—a lasting tribute to his belief that faith, compassion, and action can help bring peace to the world.
