Barbara Bush Foundation for Family Literacy


Georgia State Charitable Contributions Program

Teresa W. Borcheck Director of Development September 18, 2013

www.BarbaraBushFoundation.com

http://www.barbarabushfoundation.com/

Our Vision…100% Literacy in AmericaFirst Lady Barbara Bush established the Barbara Bush Foundation for Family Literacy with one primary goal: Eliminate the intergenerational cycle of illiteracy in America.

For 24 years, the Foundation has funded the start-up or expansion of over 1,200 family literacy programs, investing $50 million in communities across the United States.

Today, Jeb Bush and Doro Bush Koch serve as Co-Chairs, while Barbara Bush serves as Honorary Chair and remains actively engaged in our work.

Our Mission…to advocate for and establish literacy as a value in every home

Our Challenge 33 million American adults cannot read. Even worse, America is losing its place as a world leader in education. According to Harvard University economists, throughout American history almost every generation has had substantially more education than that of its parents. Unfortunately that is no longer true, and the economic ramifications are crippling.

Vision & Mission

Family Literacy Success Stories

With more than 33 million adults in America who are functionally illiterate – there is a tremendous need for literacy programs across the nation. There are many ways you can make a lasting impact on multiple generations of Americans. Even the smallest donation can make a huge difference in the lives of children and families.

Here are some examples that illustrate the power of your contribution:

• $25 pays for one hour of instruction for 10 adult learners in reading or math• $100 provides 25 families with a hot, nutritious meal during class time• $250 builds a home library of books for a family• $1,000 funds one child's preschool tuition for a school year• $2,500 sponsors a family through a literacy program for an entire year• $5,000 grants a Teen Trendsetters Reading Mentor program for a full school year

H.E.A.T. Success StoryMildred Peeks

“I never used to think about how contributions to programs like H.E.A.T. help so many people,” she says. “But when I became disabled, I understood more than ever the importance of putting myself in other people’s shoes. You have to give help when you can, and you have to ask for help when you need it.”
