Gary Sinise Foundation

At the Gary Sinise Foundation, we serve our nation by honoring our defenders, veterans, first responders, their families, and those in need. We do this by creating and supporting unique programs designed to entertain, educate, inspire, strengthen, and build communities.

In 2026, Valor Partners Foundation, based in Kansas City, became Valor Scholars, a program of the Gary Sinise Foundation. Through this integration, the Valor Scholars program continues its mission to remove financial barriers to higher education for the spouses and children of our nation’s fallen and severely disabled heroes—while benefiting from the scale, infrastructure, and national reach of the Gary Sinise Foundation.

Supporters who previously invested in Valor Partners Foundation may continue to direct their support to the Valor Scholars program, or choose to support the broader mission of the Gary Sinise Foundation—amplifying impact across education, wellness, and community support initiatives nationwide.
