The application period for the Bush Fellowship is opening soon! We encourage leaders from all spaces and places to consider whether this is the right time to apply for a Fellowship because we need leadership from all fields to make our region better for everyone.
A lot has been happening this spring and summer! We’re thrilled to share some staff news with you that includes new people, new positions and some familiar faces in new roles. We have six new people that have joined our terrific team since March. Two of those people fill brand-new roles – grantmaking officers located in North Dakota and South Dakota. Keep reading on our website to learn more and get to know our staff.
Our own Jen Ford Reedy, president of the Foundation, was recently invited to share a stage with others talking about philanthropy’s role in systems change at the Aspen Ideas Festival in late June.
We’re so excited to introduce you to this year’s class of Bush Fellows. They’re a remarkable group of committed leaders who have big dreams for their communities.
Every year we are humbled by the incredible talent and brilliance of our neighbors in the region, and this year is no different. I’m immensely grateful for the opportunity to introduce you to our 2022 class of Bush Fellows.
We’re excited to share that the Good Relatives Collaborative will be our fourth community-based grant partner, and will design and operate a community-based grant program supporting Native nations and communities across the area.
Leaders — in government, businesses and nonprofits — shape our institutions and our collective experiences. But, how do we know if they are representative of and responsive to the diverse communities that they employ and serve?
Please join us in celebrating Maggie Arzdorf-Schubbe as she transitions from her role at the Bush Foundation at the end of March. Maggie has been a trusted consultant to the Foundation for over 30 years and will truly be missed.
