The Battier Take Charge Foundation

"Do Well. Do Good." This phrase not only describes the heart of the Battier Take Charge Foundation, but it also serves as a motto for the Battier Family. We have been blessed with many life-changing experiences and opportunities for which we are so grateful, and as a result, we believe it is our responsibility to use our platform for the betterment of the communities that have impacted us.
 
We feel strongly about the merits and value of a college education as a vehicle to reach one's life goals. We established the Battier Take Charge Foundation in 2008 to provide scholarships and academic resources to students in underserved areas. To date, we have awarded over $3.1 Million in scholarships to over 170 students, who have attended prestigious colleges and universities throughout the country.

We have been fortunate to grow our organization and provide support far beyond the financial scholarships awarded. We have increased our reach through expanded programming at both the high school and college levels. We believe in our work and are seeing the impact - 95% of Battier Scholars graduate from college within 4 years, and 100% of Guide Miami and Guide Camden students have earned their high school diplomas. The comprehensive support of our organization offers these driven students the chance to succeed with confidence.
 
We are passionate about identifying and helping future leaders continue their journeys through a college education. The Battier Take Charge Foundation is honored to have awarded over $3 million in scholarships since its inception, with an additional $1.5 million + in academic programming benefiting our students. The stories of our recipients hearten us - they are making a difference in their communities and leaving their mark on the world. They make us want to do and give more.

Our goal is to impact one million lives. This endeavor represents the ripple effect our programs have on each recipient, their families, and their communities as they pursue higher education and launch meaningful careers. Together, we can create a legacy of opportunity, empowerment, and transformation for generations to come.
