The Additional Missions Hensley will oversee include:
•           Helping Children of Family Members Killed in Action – In August of 2011, 17 Navy SEALs died when their helicopter was shot down by insurgents in Afghanistan. So far, the Hartwell Foundation has donated $125,000 to the Navy Seal Foundation to help children of those dead.
•           AMIkids – Through motivating and positive programs that inspire leadership, personal growth, and learning, AMIkids, a nationally-recognized not-for-profit, provides a promising future for over 5,000 children each year. Their programs are enhanced through financial support from the Hartwell Foundation.
•           Other Missions: Land of the Free Foundation, TAPS Good Grief Camps for Children, relief efforts (including Hurricane Katrina), Jonestown Family Center for Education and Wellness, Memphis University School, George Trautman Scholarship at Avon Old Farms School, Rafe Esquith Scholarship and the Hobart Shakespeareans, and TAPS Hartwell Fund for Children of KIA Service Members.
 
In all programs they support, it is the Hartwell Foundation’s purpose to inspire achievement and innovation. They believe philanthropy is a serious responsibility. To do this, they are selective, thorough, and unique. Any recipients of Hartwell funds must use the money responsibly and efficiently. By doing this, they provide those they support with the opportunity to realize their dreams and hopes and to make a difference. Hartwell’s Primary Mission is to provide grant awards to individuals with state of the art and innovative biomedical applied research that is to benefit children.
