Community Outreach
2026 - 2027
Appointed by the President, the Community Outreach Committee Chair researches 501(c)(3) organizations in good standing benefitting Nassau County that are recommended by PLA members and others in the community at large. The general categories fall under five areas: Animal Welfare; Environment; Health and Human Services; Historic Preservation; Culture and the Arts.
Our donations to the four selected charities are made possible by PLA members with their personall checks that we collect at our Luncheons. These charities receive those donations made by individual members. In the event our individual donations do not reach the minimum gift of $2000, PLA will make up the remainder. At the end of our fiscal year, the Board may use make other charitable donations that are of broad interest to membership.
