About Us

Inspired giving.

The Pritzker Military Foundation is the grantmaking arm of the Pritzker Military Museum & Library. Our funding supports both the preservation and dissemination of military history and the health and well-being of our citizen soldiers whose commitment is essential to a safe, stable democracy. The Pritzker Military Foundation supports similar non-profit organizations that preserve American military history, restore historic military artifacts and make them accessible to the public. We also fund organizations that provide services and essential resources to active duty military, veterans and families of service members in all branches of the United States Armed Forces.

Investing to illuminate service and sacrifice.

At the Pritzker Military Foundation, we believe the story of the citizen soldier is, in many ways, the tale of our nation, past, present and future. By helping uncover and preserve military history, and by supporting those who make that history, we hope to connect the broad public with an important pillar of American life. As such, the foundation not only carries out Colonel Jennifer Pritzker’s philanthropic activities in the military genre, but also complements, promotes, and amplifies the mission, vision, and partnerships of the Pritzker Military Museum & Library.
