Pilot International was founded in 1921 as a volunteer service organization. The historic inspiration for the name was the riverboat pilot who would steer a true course through calm or troubled waters. Thus, the motto, “True Course Ever”.

Pilot members are business and professional leaders who share a common trait, the desire to help people in need and to make the world a better place to live.

Since 1991, the service focus of Pilot International is helping people affected by brain related disorders.

Mission: To serve by furthering Pilot International's humanitarian efforts through charitable, educational, and research programs in communities throughout the world.
