LAIRD NORTON ENDOWMENT
FOUNDATION
This special purpose foundation's main focus
is conservation
and forestry education. Not surprising
given that the Laird
and Norton families have been in the lumber
business since
1850. The foundation, established in
1940, had assets of
$4 million in 1998 and currently focuses its
philanthropy on
sustainable forestry. An average award
is about $10,000.

BARBARA
BUSH FOUNDATION FOR FAMILY LITERACY
Named after the former first lady, this foundation's
grant making policy seeks to promote literacy
projects for
the whole family. "The mission of the
Barbara Bush
Foundation for Family Literacy is: To
establish literacy as
a value in every family in America, by helping
every family
in the nation understand that the home is
the child's first
school, that the parent is the child's first
teacher, and
reading is the child's first
subject..."
The Foundation has awarded over $6,000,000
since its
inception in 1989. The national grant
program awards about
$500,000 per year to family literacy programs
across the
country. Guidelines, applications and
a list of past
grantees are located at:
