• The Origin of the Thomas Bata Foundation• As we open the gate to the Thomas Bata Foundation, through which the historic tradition is again

revived, connecting the name Bata not only to enterprise, but also with support of public and socially beneficial matters.

• With the opening of the Thomas Bata Foundation and reconstruction of the Bata Villa, a phenomenon has returned, which was mercilessly interrupted by historic events, but in this new form has pledged to support the rich legacy and expand it further.

• The mission of the Foundation is not only maintaining Bata history and traditions as they are, but it also involves supporting projects aimed at proper and healthy development of a prospering community, whether it be in the area of social and cultural development, youth education and support of enterprising activity.

• The Bata Villa was returned to the family after 1989.  In 1997 Thomas Bata offered the Villa as the foundation headquarters.  The Villa has become the place where the majority of historic, educational and cultural activities of the Foundation are held.  There are also available certain rooms in the villa as conference space for the public.  In the sphere of upbringing and education the foundation acts as an informational and educational center, holding its own conferences and seminars as well as training programs aimed at various themes.

• Aside from this, the Foundation supports business and economic education at schools in cooperation with the organization Junior Achievement.  The newly founded Tomas Bata University has recently become one of the objects of this aid and support. The Foundation supports concerts and exhibitions of well-known artists.

• Cultural and historical activities of the Foundation in cooperation with local institutions and organizations such as the City of Zlin, the Zlin Region sessions, conferences, business meetings, important gatherings or celebration of events of various kinds.
