The funding will support the Club’s Teen Center programs that are helping youth in Noblesville and Hamilton County access essential resources to achieve their goals by focusing on character & leadership development.

“This grant allows us to reach more teens with the tools and guidance they need to build a successful future,” BGCN Executive Director Becky Terry said. “We’re grateful to the Taco Bell Foundation and K-MAC Enterprises for believing in our mission and investing in the potential of our youth.”

2026 is Taco Bell Foundation’s biggest Community Grants year yet: a record $32 million supporting 700 nonprofits nationwide, representing a 40 percent increase in nonprofit partners from last year. Fueled by fans who Round Up their Taco Bell order totals, the investment is creating more opportunities for young people through education, career readiness, mentorship, and youth empowerment.

BGCN was nominated for the grant by local Taco Bell franchisee K-MAC Enterprises, whose continued commitment to uplifting youth has helped expand access to education, mentorship, and career readiness programs across the community.
