    Summary

    The Bush Foundation invests in great ideas and the people who power them. Ecosystem grants provide general operating support to help sustain organizations that create unique and significant value for our grantees, Fellows, Rebuilders and others.

    Some might call these infrastructure organizations or intermediary organizations or just ‘can't-do-without' organizations. We call them ecosystem organizations because they help create an environment for big things to happen in the region.
     
    Ecosystem grants are offered across all Foundation programs and strategic initiatives. They provide general operating support to organizations that our grantees, Fellows, Rebuilders and others rely on to:
    • Provide critical data and analysis
    • Spread great ideas and build capacity
    • Advance public awareness and policy
    • Build and support leadership networks
