Barbara Bush Foundation for Family Literacy

Over the past 30 years, the Barbara Bush Foundation for Family Literacy has raised and provided more than $110 million in support to create or expand adult and family literacy programs in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. Adult literacy is a sweeping, silent crisis in our country. Today, there are tens of millions of American adults who cannot fill out a job application, read to their child, understand simple medication labels, or use a ballot to vote. This crisis is largely ignored, historically underfunded, and woefully under-researched, despite being one of the great solvable problems of our time. Barbara Bush chose literacy as her life's work based on a simple, but powerful belief: "If more people could read, write, and comprehend, we would be that much closer to solving so many of the problems plaguing our society." The Barbara Bush Foundation for Family Literacy holds ready solutions with high impact outcomes. We are committed to fulfilling the legacy of Barbara Bush, the First Lady of Literacy, by working towards an America in which all adults have the opportunity to read, write, and comprehend in order to navigate the world with dignity.
