The Pat Tillman Foundation is a mid-sized nonprofit organization based in Chicago, Illinois, established to honor Pat Tillman’s legacy of leadership and service. It was formed by family and friends after Tillman’s death in 2004, with a mission to unite and empower military veterans and spouses as the next generation of leaders in public and private sectors who commit to service beyond self. The foundation supports Tillman Scholars—service members, veterans, and spouses—through leadership development and opportunities that enable advancement across civilian fields. In addition to its scholarship work, the organization conducts events that highlight its scholars and their impact, such as the annual Tillman Honors gala. A notable 2025 development included launching Scholar to Scholar, a video series in which scholars share their journeys, lessons, and aspirations, further strengthening the network surrounding Tillman Scholars.
