Today we honor the recipients of the 2021 Bush Fellowship.

We believe that making these changes will help us operate the way that we want and make a bigger impact in our region.

The Bush Foundation is committing $100 million to seed two community trust funds that will address wealth disparities caused by historic racial injustice.

We went into 2020 with a plan for strategy change. We emerged far more changed than we imagined.

Minnesota Compass, with the support of the Bush Foundation just launched “Who Leads in Minnesota?” to share a holistic picture of leadership in institutions across the state.

Leadership matters. Leaders shape our communities, institutions, nation and the world. They define culture, take action and make decisions that have long-standing and wide-ranging impact on people and communities.

Mary Grove and Matt Kilian will begin their service at our next board of directors meeting in February.

We're seeking a consulting partner to support and build our skills for engaging in courageous conversations and constructive conflict, advancing our goals to be an equitable and anti-racist organization.

Philanthropy should be asking itself big questions this year. Between COVID-19 and further grappling with white supremacy and racism, there is an incredible amount of struggle, pain, lives lost and deep reckoning happening all across our region. Private foundations must especially ask how they can use their power, privilege and networks to be better and do better.

The Community Innovation program is your open door to the Bush Foundation. And, we recently made changes to the program to make it even more simple and open! The expanded program also supports ideas that inspire, equip and connect people to more effectively drive change.
