Our Mission
Journey alongside children to instill confidence for a brighter future.
Our Vision
A world where all children grow to feel confident in themselves.
OUR VALUES
INTENTIONAL THOUGHTFULNESS
Each child has a different story. It’s worth the extra time and resources to be thoughtful, so our programs withstand and have a greater impact.
INSTILLING CONFIDENCE
We aren’t giving up. We’re committed to the long-term and are centered on improving confidence in children.
PURPOSEFUL COLLABORATION
We only partner with schools and different stakeholders who align with our mission to ensure we are stronger together.
ALWAYS ACCEPTING
No matter the background or barrier, we are dedicated to an environment where every child is accepted and knows they have someone in their corner.
LETTER FROM US
From having our own two children, Sadie and Sutton, we see every day how integral it is to instill confidence in them. It stems from what they wear, how they feel, what they eat, and so much more.
We’re committed to supporting our hometown, Baton Rouge, and the surrounding area, in our mission to foster confidence in all children. Through our various initiatives, we’re hopeful they feel understood, cherished and celebrated, so they can overcome any obstacle in the future.
Thank you for joining us on this journey.

The Gausmans'
WHY BATON ROUGE?
Baton Rouge holds a special place in the Gausmans’ hearts.
Taylor, a Louisiana native, grew up in Lake Charles, and moved to Baton Rouge for college, where she lived out her dream of being a LSU cheerleader, and receiving her degree in Mathematics – later becoming a middle school math teacher.
Kevin played baseball at LSU, where him and Taylor met. Although he is from Colorado, he quickly realized what a special place Baton Rouge is. Currently, Kevin plays baseball for the Toronto Blue
Jays, but their primary residence is in Baton Rouge, where they spend the offseason, and their daughters attend school.
Our goal is to make an impact on children through supporting their hometown schools.
