  19. Vision & Mission Our Vision…100% Literacy in America First Lady Barbara Bush established the Barbara Bush Foundation for Family Literacy with one primary goal: Eliminate the intergenerational cycle of illiteracy in America. For 24 years, the Foundation has funded the start-up or expansion of over 1,200 family literacy programs, investing $50 million in communities across the United States. Today, Jeb Bush and Doro Bush Koch serve as Co-Chairs, while Barbara Bush serves as Honorary Chair and remains actively engaged in our work. Our Mission…to advocate for and establish literacy as a value in every home Our Challenge 33 million American adults cannot read. Even worse, America is losing its place as a world leader in education. According to Harvard University economists, throughout American history almost every generation has had substantially more education than that of its parents. Unfortunately that is no longer true, and the economic ramifications are crippling.
