General Purposes Grants is sponsored by Edyth Bush Charitable Foundation. The Edyth Bush Charitable Foundation welcomes grant requests from eligible tax-exempt organizations headquartered within the Orlando MSA (Orange, Seminole, Osceola, and Lake Counties, Florida).

Through the pioneering efforts of Edyth and Archibald Bush, this foundation was created to serve the people of Central Florida and beyond. With humble beginnings, Mr. Bush started his work for a small, unknown company named Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing.
After a short time spent in the accounting department, Mr. Bush figured out that the sales people made more money than the accountants, so he quickly volunteered to open up a new sales territory for the company in Chicago, Illinois. There he met Edyth Bassler, a prominent local actress and classical dancer. He also discovered that she would become the love of his life and they were soon married.
With a shared interest in community involvement they became active in many local organizations. Through a team effort, they also sought to help build the fledgling company Mr. Bush was working for. Together they held a firm belief in the future of the company which would later become known as 3M.
Through hard work and dedication, the Bushes amassed a substantial fortune in company stock enhanced by conservative living. As they became more affluent they developed a greater capacity to truly make a difference in the communities in which they lived. And so, the Edyth Bush Charitable Foundation was born.
From the first grant made to the United Way, the foundation was focused on arts and education but within a few years expanded to health and human services efforts with the firm belief in "helping people help themselves." To date, the foundation has distributed more than $100 million in grants to deserving organizations.
In addition to providing funds, a significant portion of the foundation's efforts is dedicated to community leadership and fostering cooperative relationships between the groups it serves.
