The Battery Founders, Michael and Xochi Birch, envisioned a community that could express generosity and commitment. Battery Powered is a giving program that is bringing club members together to do just that. By supporting organizations and learning from frontline experts, The Battery community can do more together than would be ever be possible alone. Since our founding, we have given out over $15 million in grants to organizations making change in: California Prison Reform, The Future of San Francisco, Extreme Global Poverty, Early Childhood Education, Mental Health, Environment (Resource Revolution and Conservation of Oceans & Tropical Forests), Arts & Creative Process, Women's Health & Dignity, Education to Workforce Development, Gun Safety, Childhood Nutrition, Healthy Democracy, and Homelessness. Battery Powered is a program of The Battery Foundation, an independent 501c3 nonprofit.
