The Foundation’s emphasis in this program area was on major projects that were part of comprehensive capital campaigns, as opposed to incremental renovations, like roof replacements or ongoing maintenance.
The overwhelming majority of projects funded by the Bush Foundation were successfully completed or completed essentially as planned. Since 1970, just two percent of the funded projects were fully or partially canceled.
