We are pleased to share that we are in the process of issuing $100 million in social bonds. This is another way we are thinking bigger and differently about how we can have more impact.

The Bush Foundation has selected 36 organizations to receive Ecosystem grants, which provide operating support to the programs and organizations that do the most to support the people in our region working to creatively solve problems.

Given the challenges of in-person gatherings caused by COVID-19, we’ve decided to cancel bushCONNECT 2020/21 and our Event Sponsorship Program. We feel proud of the work we have done with and through partners on these programs. We will focus our energy and resources to serve the most critical needs in our region.

The work of overcoming long-held beliefs and assumptions is humbling. For me, it has involved realizing over and over how my beliefs and assumptions are limited by my experience, different from what others believe and assume, and sometimes just plain wrong. 

Several scams are taking place on with scammers falsely claiming to work for the Bush Foundation. We're sharing what we currently know.

The Bush Fellowship is an investment in you, so that you can make a difference in your community. 

If you have looked at the Bush Fellowship application questions, chances are you have seen the words large-scale change. But what do those words mean in terms of the Bush Fellowship?

How much do I share? How do I match my application with what the selection committee is looking for?
These are two common questions we hear from Bush Fellowship applicants. If you’re looking for a cut-and-dry answer to tell you what to do, there isn’t one. While of course the Fellowship selection committees are guided by the selection criteria (track record, potential and plan) as they review applications, applying for a Bush Fellowship is a truly reflective and transformative inquiry process.

We adapted Community Innovation grants to be more open, equitable and responsive to community needs.

Each year we gather stories of how the people and ideas we've invested in are making our region better for everyone.
