About the Bush Foundation

The Bush Foundation works to inspire and support creative problem solving — within and across sectors — to make our region better for everyone.

To do this, we invest in great ideas and the people who power them in Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota and the 23 Native nations that share the same geography.

We work through open grantmaking programs to develop, test and spread great ideas to make our region better, and to inspire, equip and connect people to lead change effectively.

We are inspired by the lives of Archie and Edyth Bush, who created the Bush Foundation in 1953. Today, our job is to do the most possible good with the resources they left to the community.


Name and References

Our official name is Bush Foundation. "The" does not need to be capitalized unless it is the start of a sentence. Subsequent references should be "the Bush Foundation" or "the Foundation."

The Bush Foundation logo consists of the tri-colored area that forms the b (known as the “bug”) and the words "Bush Foundation". Both elements must be used together. The minimum size for the logo is 0.325” from the top to the bottom of the bug. Always enlarge or reduce the logo proportionately so it is not stretched or distorted. Space should be left around the logo that is at least the size of the full height of the letter “B” in “Bush” as shown.

One-color logo variations — black or reverse (white) only — are acceptable, if required by production limitations. The logo in black can be used on a white background. The reverse logo should be used only on backgrounds that are orange or dark grey from our primary color palette.
