LETTER FROM THE TRUSTEES
DOING GOOD . TOGETHER .
The largest living organism on Earth is in Utah . The Pando Aspen Grove in south-central Utah has more than 47,000 trees in the grove that are spread out over 106 acres . The root system , if stretched out end to end , would cover 12,427 miles , a distance equal to half the circumference of Earth . When looking at aspen groves , you would never know they were connected by a single root system .
Reflecting on the history of our family ’ s company and philanthropic efforts to where we are now , we see the various “ roots ” connecting along the way . Making us stronger . Together .
Doing Good . Together . These simple but powerful words reflect the Larry H . & Gail Miller Family Foundation ’ s efforts to harness our relationships to achieve the best outcomes in the communities we serve . We believe one of the most enriching and exciting ways we can “ do good together ” is through philanthropy . When we come together to work on issues collectively , the rate of change increases and complex problems can be solved . However , we cannot do that without collective listening , learning , love and action .
When we come together , we can do more than we can do alone . We feel we have a responsibility to be involved , to seek solutions to problems affecting our families and neighborhoods , and to contribute in meaningful ways to make our communities better .
Like the interconnected roots of aspen trees , Doing Good . Together . forms a supportive network that strengthens and sustains the community . We believe philanthropy develops from a place of love , compassion , proximity and collaboration . Operating from a place of love allows us to tap into our light and truth and gives us a greater advantage in building relationships of trust and loyalty where all can thrive .
Together we learn . Together we are inspired . And together , we are always better . Let ’ s continue to Do Good . Together .
