Reward Our Heroes™ Foundation – Supporting Wisconsin’s Heroes and Their Families
The Reward Our Heroes™ Foundation provides scholarships, grants, and recognition programs to support Wisconsin’s veterans, first responders, healthcare workers, teachers, and their families.
About Our Foundation
The Reward Our Heroes Foundation is dedicated to supporting military families, first responders, veterans, and community heroes who dedicate their lives to serving others. Through our comprehensive programs, we provide educational scholarships, emergency financial assistance, and recognition for outstanding service. Our mission is to ensure that those who serve our communities receive the support and recognition they deserve.
As an Air Force veteran, I know the discipline, sacrifice, and commitment that comes with wearing a uniform. Law enforcement officers carry that weight every day — long shifts, tough decisions, and putting community before self.
Reward Our Heroes™ was built to honor that service. Wisconsin’s officers deserve more than just thanks — they deserve real support when it comes to homeownership.
Through the Home Savings Program, officers save thousands with commission rebates, lender credits, and reduced fees. With access to scholarships and home grants, this program ensures every dollar of earned benefit is secured for your family.
At Reward Our Heroes™, law enforcement officers are more than clients. You’re heroes — and our mission is to make sure your service is met with the recognition and savings you deserve.

"Every hero deserves recognition, and every family behind a hero deserves support. We founded this organization because we believe that giving back to those who serve our communities isn't just the right thing to do — it's essential to who we are as a society."
