Pat Tillman Foundation

Transcript

Killjan Anderson:
Every day I can walk in this office. Got this picture of Pat staring me down and I think to myself, “Man, we better get this right.” There's an important legacy there and there's a real lesson for all of us out here today. And after Pat fell in battle in Afghanistan, people literally began sending checks in to Arizona State University to the Arizona Cardinals, so there wasn't really a foundation, so we were kind of born backwards, if you will. The Pat Tillen Foundation's vision is to develop the next generation of public and private sector leaders. Our main mission is to build a fellowship program. There's a scholarship round where we help pay scholarships to Tillen Scholars out in the field, and there's also a network tenant where we expose them to professional networks to help them with the cause that they're working on as well as professional development. We are up to 525 scholars. We introduced a class of roughly 60 every year. We invested in over $14 million in scholarships. We have scholars that have been represented over 108 schools across the country.
Sabrina Perales:
TriNet is really beneficial for us because they have a background in nonprofits and they understand the different complexities of being a 501C3. When we have a new hire or one of our employees decides to take another opportunity, it's just a lot easier to have TriNet behind us. Lori is our client services specialist and she's really become an extension of our staff. I speak to her sometimes several times a week just asking different questions that arise out of day-to-day operations. TriNet technologies allows us to input payroll and approve sick time and PTO. It also allows our employees to pull up their earning statements and pull up any sort of information that they need. They use it to elect benefits or waive benefits. They can change it when open enrollment rolls around. Without the self-serve functions, HR would be a full-time job for me. Having a lower overhead costs keeps most of our money within our program, which is really important for us because it allows us to be able to invest more in our scholars.
Killjan Anderson:
You know, being able to have the ability to consult with TriNet to help us solve issues and matters is a tremendous resource for us. That more than anything, helps us keep our mission and our focus on the scholars and help them make the impact that they're destined to make.

TriNet is really beneficial for us because they have a background in nonprofits. They understand the different complexities of being a 501(c)(3).
