Last year the Bush Foundation adopted a new strategic plan (click here for more information about the plan). This year we are revising our guidelines to align them with the plan. As a result, for the next few months, the Bush Foundation is not currently accepting letters of inquiry for consideration.
(Dakota Creative Connections applicants please click here.) We will update the guidelines and expect to publish them here on our web site this summer. At that time, we will provide new timelines and instructions for completing a letter of inquiry for potential submission and action by our Board in November. Our schedule for grant approval in March and July is not changing.

If you have any questions about this, please e-mail or call our Grants Manager, Kelly Kleppe at kkleppe@bushfoundation.org, 651-379-2222. Click on the following links for a letter from our President and for a list of frequently asked questions.

Please note: This change in schedule does not apply to the DAKOTA CREATIVE CONNECTIONS program of the Bush Artist Fellows Program. Applications for this program are now available on our website. Click here for more information.
