EQ Living: The Batchelor’s Impact on the South Florida Community

NANCY AND JON BATCHELOR’S IMPACT ON THE SOUTH FLORIDA COMMUNITY

NANCY AND JON BATCHELOR are passionate animal lovers and philanthropic trailblazers in South Florida. They carry a legacy of giving through the Batchelor Foundation, founded by Jon’s father, George. Their dedication, generosity, and love for animals, the environment, and those in need drive their impactful work in the community.

Founded in 1990 by aviation entrepreneur George Batchelor, the Batchelor Foundation supports animals, the environment, and those in need across South Florida. After selling his companies, George invested the proceeds into the foundation, which continues his legacy today under the guidance of his family and has expanded its focus to veterans and homelessness initiatives.

The family’s equestrian, Nancy had an early passion for horses that began in her Wisconsin childhood, where she participated in 4-H, western pleasure, reining, and English pleasure. After college at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, she pursued a sales career, eventually becoming a successful yacht broker in Miami, where she met her husband, Jon. Today, she is one of Compass Realty’s top-producing agents in Miami.

Nancy’s return to her equestrian roots began when the couple moved to Aspen, Colorado, where Jon promised her a horse as part of the deal. This rekindled her riding career and introduced her to the hunter world. Back in Miami, Nancy boards her horses in Southwest Ranches and, for the past 12 years, has boarded her three hunters at East Wind Farm with Tiffany Morrissey. She also has two retired horses in Kentucky. Treating her riding time as a non-negotiable, Nancy says, “I schedule it like a doctor’s appointment.” She and Jon retreat to their Wellington house most weekends, enjoying time with their horses and dogs.
