The Barbara Bush Foundation for Family Literacy is a mid-sized nonprofit based in Washington, DC, that funds and supports adult and family literacy programs. Over its 30-year history, it has raised and provided support to develop literacy initiatives across all 50 states and the District of Columbia. The organization focuses on addressing adult literacy as a widespread, underserved issue and aims to enable people to read, write, and comprehend so they can navigate daily life with dignity. In the philanthropic fundraising arena, the foundation supports literacy programs through partnerships and events rather than delivering programs directly. In 2024, Andrew Roberts was appointed president, reflecting a leadership transition while the foundation continues to host celebrations of reading and pursue collaborations, including digital literacy initiatives for adult learners.
