Do Well.
Do Good.
The Battier Take Charge Foundation helps promising young people take charge of their lives and reach their greatest potential through college scholarships, mentorship, networking, and leadership training. The young people who go through our programs, in turn, inspire those around them - in their families, their neighborhoods, and their schools – to take charge of their futures.
Our Core Values
Authenticity
We keep it real— no fluff, just heart. At BTCF, honesty and trust lead the way. We show up prepared, embrace who we are, and empower scholars to shape their future.
Impact
Do Well. Do Good. Scholarships, mentorship, and leadership are just the beginning. We break barriers and create ripples of success—lifting others with every win on our way to reaching one million lives.
GROWTH
Standing still isn’t our thing. We take risks and push boundaries. Growth means resilience, adaptability, and opening doors—for scholars breaking barriers and BTCF evolving in bold, new ways.
collaboration
No one makes it alone. We roll up our sleeves, create together, and bring diverse voices to the table—because every conversation, shared idea, and partnership helps inspire action that matters.
empowerment
There’s no such thing as failure—only learning and growth. We equip young leaders, staff, and partners with the confidence, resources, and agency to lead—because stepping up is just how we do things.
scrappiness
We hustle. We innovate. We get things done. Stretching resources and tackling obstacles head-on —we don’t just dream big; we make big things happen with heart, humor, and a whole lot of grit.
