Progress Partners

Battelle for Kids is pleased to partner with the following education, business and philanthropic organizations on various school improvement initiatives to enhance student learning:

Battelle Memorial Institute (Battelle)
Battelle is a global science and technology enterprise that develops and commercializes technology and manages laboratories for customers. Battelle provided substantial start-up funds to help create Battelle for Kids in 2001. Battelle charged the nonprofit organization with making Ohio's public schools not just good, but the best in the nation. Battelle continues to support Battelle for Kids through its leadership on the board of directors, financial resources, and technical support.

The Ohio Business Roundtable
The Ohio Business Roundtable (BRT) is an independent, nonpartisan organization comprised of the chief executive officers of the state's major businesses. Established in 1992, the BRT was created with the belief that business leaders in a pluralistic society should have an active and effective role in the formulation and evaluation of public policy. The BRT helped establish Battelle for Kids as a 501(c)(3) in 2001.
