Return Reference Explanation
FORM 990, PART I, LINE 6, VOLUNTEERS: THE BARBARA BUSH FOUNDATION FOR FAMILY LITERACY, INC IS A PUBLIC CHARITY FOUNDED BY FORMER FIRST LADY BARBARA BUSH. THE BUSH FAMILY IS PROUD TO SUPPORT LITERACY THROUGH THEIR PHILANTHROPIC EFFORTS. BARBARA BUSH'S DAUGHTER, DOROTHY BUSH KOCH, IS HONORARY CHAIR OF THE FOUNDATION, AND TWO OF MRS. BUSH'S GRANDSONS - JEB BUSH, JR. AND ROBERT KOCH - ARE BOARD MEMBERS OF THE FOUNDATION. BUSH FAMILY MEMBERS WHO LEND THEIR NAMES AND VALUABLE TIME AS VOLUNTEERS, PARTICULARLY TO SUPPORT THE FOUNDATION'S CELEBRATION OF READING EVENTS, INCLUDE PRESIDENT GEORGE W. AND LAURA BUSH, GOVERNOR JEB AND COLUMBA BUSH, MARVIN AND MARGARET BUSH, NEIL AND MARIA BUSH, DORO AND BOBBY KOCH, ALEXANDER ANDREWS, PACE ANDREWS, THE HONORABLE GEORGE P. AND AMANDA BUSH, MARSHALL BUSH, NOELLE BUSH, SARABETH AND PIERCE BUSH, WALKER BUSH, SANDRA AND JEB BUSH, JR., BARBARA BUSH COYNE AND CRAIG COYNE, ELIZABETH ANDREWS, JENNA BUSH HAGER AND HENRY HAGER, GIGI KOCH, KITTY AND ROBERT KOCH, LAUREN BUSH LAUREN AND DAVID LAUREN, LEE AND SAM LEBLOND, ASHLEY BUSH AND JULIAN LEFEVRE, AND ELLIE AND NICK SOSA.
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 1, DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION MISSION: A NATIONAL PUBLIC CHARITY BASED IN WASHINGTON, D.C., THE BARBARA BUSH FOUNDATION FOR FAMILY LITERACY IS DEDICATED TO HELPING FAMILIES AND COMMUNITIES NATIONWIDE BUILD BRIGHTER FUTURES THROUGH LITERACY. WE HAVE BEEN THE NATION'S LEADING ADVOCATE FOR FAMILY LITERACY FOR MORE THAN THREE DECADES. ESTABLISHED BY FIRST LADY BARBARA BUSH IN 1989, WE HAVE SUPPORTED EVIDENCE-BASED FAMILY LITERACY PROGRAMS IN ALL 50 STATES AND THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA. FORMER FIRST LADY 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." RESEARCH CONTINUES TO PROVE THAT SHE WAS RIGHT, LINKING LITERACY TO SOME OF TODAY'S MOST PRESSING CONCERNS, INCLUDING ECONOMIC GROWTH, PUBLIC HEALTH AND SAFETY, AND CIVIC ENGAGEMENT. YET TODAY, MORE THAN HALF OF U.S. ADULTS LACK PROFICIENCY IN LITERACY, READING BELOW THE ADULT EQUIVALENT OF A SIXTH-GRADE LEVEL. ABOUT 43 MILLION AMERICANS - 28% OF U.S. ADULTS - READ BELOW THE EQUIVALENT OF A THIRD-GRADE LEVEL. YOUNG READERS ARE STRUGGLING AS WELL: 69% OF OUR NATION'S FOURTH GRADERS READ BELOW GRADE LEVEL. THIS CRISIS IS COSTLY A GALLUP STUDY COMMISSIONED BY THE BARBARA BUSH FOUNDATION DETERMINED THAT THE U.S. COULD BE LOSING $2.2 TRILLION - OR 10% OF GDP - ANNUALLY DUE TO LOW ADULT LITERACY RATES. IT IS ALSO MULTIGENERATIONAL, AS RESEARCH SHOWS THAT A PARENT'S LITERACY LEVEL IS THE SINGLE GREATEST PREDICTOR OF THEIR CHILD'S FUTURE ACADEMIC SUCCESS, OUTWEIGHING OTHER FACTORS INCLUDING NEIGHBORHOOD AND FAMILY INCOME. WE WORK TO ADDRESS OUR NATION'S LITERACY CHALLENGE BY PROVIDING HIGH-QUALITY PROGRAMS AND RESOURCES THAT HELP FAMILIES ACROSS THE COUNTRY BUILD LITERACY SKILLS, AS WELL AS DRIVING MULTISECTOR ENGAGEMENT IN LITERACY ISSUES THROUGH RESEARCH AND EDUCATION INITIATIVES. THESE EFFORTS ARE DETAILED IN OUR PROGRAM SERVICES ACCOMPLISHMENTS.
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A, PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS: BUILDING LITERACY SKILLS WE DELIVER HIGH-QUALITY LITERACY PROGRAMS AND RESOURCES THAT HELP PARENTS/CAREGIVERS AND SCHOOL-AGED CHILDREN IMPROVE THEIR READING, WRITING, AND COMPREHENSION SKILLS. READING MENTORING PROGRAMS RESEARCH SHOWS THAT THIRD GRADE READING LEVELS ARE A KEY PREDICTOR OF CHILDREN'S FUTURE SUCCESS IN SCHOOL AND IN LIFE. CHILDREN WHO BUILD THE LITERACY SKILLS THEY NEED TO READ PROFICIENTLY BY THE END OF THIRD GRADE ARE FOUR TIMES MORE LIKELY TO GRADUATE FROM HIGH SCHOOL THAN THEIR PEERS WHO READ BELOW GRADE LEVEL. SINCE 2002, OUR READING MENTORING PROGRAMS HAVE HELPED YOUNG READERS IN GRADES 1-3 BUILD THE ESSENTIAL LITERACY SKILLS THAT THEY NEED TO MAKE THE CRITICAL TRANSITION FROM LEARNING TO READ TO READING TO LEARN. BOTH PROGRAMS ARE INFORMED BY THE SCIENCE OF READING, AND EMPLOY THE RESEARCH-PROVEN STRATEGY OF MENTORING TO IMPROVE OUTCOMES. DURING THE 2024-2025 ACADEMIC YEAR, OUR READING MENTORING PROGRAMS SERVED APPROXIMATELY 2,800 STUDENTS ACROSS 75 PROGRAMS IN SIX STATES (CONNECTICUT, FLORIDA, MAINE, OKLAHOMA, SOUTH CAROLINA, AND TEXAS). READSQUAD OUR LONGEST-RUNNING READING MENTORING PROGRAM, READSQUAD, PAIRS TEEN MENTORS WITH STUDENTS IN FIRST, SECOND, AND THIRD GRADES WHO ARE, ON AVERAGE, FOUR MONTHS BEHIND IN READING.

DIGITAL LITERACY RESOURCES DIGITAL LITERACY - THE SKILLS NEEDED TO LIVE, LEARN, AND WORK IN TODAY'S INCREASINGLY INFORMATION AND TECHNOLOGY-DRIVEN SOCIETY - IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN EVER.

CURRENT RESEARCH SHOWS THAT 92% OF JOBS ACROSS INDUSTRIES IN THE U.S. LABOR MARKET REQUIRE DIGITAL SKILLS. HOWEVER, ONE-THIRD OF AMERICAN WORKERS CURRENTLY STRUGGLE TO PERFORM THEIR JOB EFFECTIVELY DUE TO LIMITED DIGITAL PROBLEM-SOLVING SKILLS. TO HELP BRIDGE THIS GAP, WE CONTINUE TO TRAIN EDUCATORS AND MENTORS NATIONWIDE ON THE USE OF PROMOTING DIGITAL LITERACY FOR ADULT LEARNERS, OUR RESOURCE GUIDE DEVELOPED IN PARTNERSHIP WITH DIGITAL PROMISE.
