Publications

THE HORD FOUNDATION NEWSLETTER is printed two times per year. The newsletter informs the organization, community, donors and recipients of the status of Foundation events; organizational needs, goals and objectives; and provides opportunities for recipients to address the Foundation and its contributors. Also, the newsletter provides an ongoing mechanism to solicit financial support. An editorial board, chaired by a Foundation trustee, manages the newsletter.
