Colonel Pritzker is a distinguished retired Lieutenant Colonel from the United States Army, who received an honorary promotion to Colonel upon her retirement in 2001 by the Illinois National Guard. She turned her career to entrepreneurship and currently oversees an array of businesses under the TAWANI umbrella, including TAWANI Property Management, Mission94 Firearms Education Center, TAWANI Ventures, Master Wings Publishing and Aurum Trading.

The Foundation focuses its philanthropy on six core areas: nurturing the arts and culture, preserving historical heritage, championing health and wellness, advocating for LGBTQ+ and human rights, advancing education, and spearheading environmental stewardship. It has provided local grants to worthy recipients such as the Greater Chicago Food Depository, Loyola University, Project H.O.O.D, Chicago Math and Science Academy, the Chicago Parks Foundation for the AIDS Garden, and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, among many other Illinois-based entities. The Foundation has also provided support to national and international organizations, from the American Red Cross in the aftermath of natural disasters to Operation White Stork, a U.S. veteran-run organization supporting on-the-ground aid in Ukraine.
