Our Mission and History
The Balda Family Foundation’s mission is to motivate, inspire and educate academically promising, at-risk and underserved youth in Brevard County, FL, through educational opportunities and college scholarships.
Our founder, Ricardo A. Balda (right), used to always say,
“The best investment you can make is the one between your ears.”
As an inventor, entrepreneur, father, and grandfather, he invested in the success of everyone he met. He started the Balda Family Foundation with his four children to invest in the success of students in the Brevard County area. For 18 years, we have carried on Ricardo’s mission by helping over 200+ students by providing scholarship funding, mentorship, and professional development opportunities.
