The Foundation

The Laura Bush Foundation for America's Libraries is a component fund of the Community Foundation for the National Capital Region (CFNCR) in Washington DC. CFNCR is an IRS- approved 501(c)(3) and will provide staff, asset management, and office infrastructure. First Lady Laura Bush is the Honorary Chair of this new fund.

Grants from The Laura Bush Foundation will be made to school libraries across the country to purchase books. An advisory committee of experts in children's literature, reading , and education will design the grant application and administer the grant process. Money to fund these grants will be raised by the Leadership Council of the Laura Bush Foundation.
