Annual Fund

The Bush Annual Fund

The Annual Fund is a fundraising campaign that supports all aspects of The Bush School's annual operating budget. The Annual Fund Family Campaign takes place for six weeks in the fall, from September 27 to November 9 this year. If you have any questions about the the Family Campaign, please reach out to any of the volunteers on this year's team. The collective generosity of our entire community—alumni, parents, grandparents, faculty and staff, parents of alumni, and friends—makes a difference in the life of each student and teacher. This year, the  priorities of impact include:
  • Supporting a $4.8 million financial aid budget, benefitting 161 students across all three divisions
  • Building on our Community, Equity, and Inclusion initiatives for the whole community
  • Providing professional and personal growth opportunities for faculty and staff
