Investing in Lasting Impact
Preparing The Leaders of Tomorrow
As a non-profit, Battelle reinvests every year in the communities where our employees live and work. Our grants help close gaps in STEM programming to reach underserved students. Because the next generation of STEM talent will be tasked with solving the world’s most pressing issues, we’re committed to fostering young learners and preparing them to be the leaders of tomorrow.
Out-of-Classroom Learning
Every year, Battelle supports non-profit organizations in creating or expanding innovative, informal K-12 STEM education programs. That includes great learning opportunities outside of the classroom at museums, libraries, zoos, and other community centers. We are deeply proud of this expanding part of our philanthropy strategy.
Applications are now open for the 2024 Central Ohio STEM Grant. Proposals are due March 26, 2024 by 11:59 PM (EST). We are seeking to fund programs that:
- Increases opportunities for engaging students — particularly those who might otherwise not have the opportunities — to participate in STEM programming.
- Integrates STEM subjects in out-of-school — summer, evenings, weekends — time.
- Demonstrates potential for sustainability.
