Our Mission
Inspired by the distinguished life and legacy of Pat Tillman - professional athlete, military hero and a man of strong character and kindness - the Pat Tillman Foundation seeks to create a community of scholars dedicated to improving their own lives, the lives of their families and their country by creating a spirit of service.
Our Vision and Approach
The Pat Tillman Foundation carries forward Pat's legacy of leadership and civic action by supporting future generations of leaders who embody the American tradition of citizen service.
To honor Pat and young people like Pat, the Pat Tillman Foundation inspires others to create positive social change through its Leadership Through Action programs with scholarships and grants for veterans, active servicemembers, their families, and college students across the country.
Through military or civilian service an entire generation of youth has the capacity to improve their communities and their country...both now and throughout their lives. The Pat Tillman Foundation provides them with the resources and support to make a difference.
The Foundation's mission is advanced through three Leadership Through Action initiatives:
Tillman Military Scholars, Tillman Scholars - Arizona State University, and Tillman Social Action Fund.
Through these programs we provide students the tools and support to reach their fullest potential as leaders..
