In grateful response to loyal support from the Texas community for the work of her Foundation, Mrs. Bush created the Barbara Bush Texas Fund for Family Literacy as a sister organization to the Foundation. The Texas Fund is a separate 501(c)3 umbrella entity which funds Texas grantmaking initiatives: the First Lady's Family Literacy Initiative for Texas, of which First Lady Laura Bush serves as Honorary Chair; Barbara Bush Fellows, administered by The Center for Advancement for Literacy and Learning at Texas A&M University (TCALL); and the Barbara Bush Literacy Corps and the Reading Discovery Program (programs of the George Bush Presidential Library at Texas A&M).
