Securing democratic values, encouraging civic participation, and strengthening American institutions are the calling of every citizen. Civility is a cornerstone to a thriving democracy.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
With a carefully determined spending rate of 4.5% from the endowment to general operations, the endowment is being managed in a fiscally-conservative manner which encourages a target net return of 7% on investment.
After examining each program’s needs and anticipated fundraising revenue, the Bush Center has carefully determined a campaign goal of $300M that consists of an additional $250M of endowment funding plus $50M in operational funding. At the conclusion of the campaign, a fully funded endowment will be sufficient to support 50% of our operating budget. Combined with our earned income from museum and library operations, the Bush Center annual giving need will only comprise 33% of the estimated annual budget. That healthy ratio of annual fund need will allow the Bush Center to always be topical and responsive to our constituencies and ensure our programming does not go stale.
