About the Foundation
In 2018, we set out to create a scholarship program in memory of our late brother, Robert Felt. The Robert Felt Memorial Fund provided scholarships to select Waltham High School students. Since then, our mission has changed, but our passion remains the same.
The Tillerman foundation now aims to provide financial support to the first responder community, more specifically those impacted while on duty. Currently, our reach extends to the Greater Merrimack Valley and North and South Shores of Massachusetts, but our future ambition is to be able to help the first responder community on a National level.
We invite you to share your gift to support those who are always there to support us—and let the families of the fallen know that we are here for them. Together, we can use the power of generosity to show that we remember and we support one and other.
