Dealer Gift Request Form - Blue Bird School Bus Foundation

Dealer Philanthropy

In 2023, Blue Bird Body Company expanded its philanthropic efforts across the nation with the introduction of Dealers Driving Communities Forward.

Through this program, dealers in the Blue Bird network can request grants made from the Blue Bird School Bus Foundation for an organization in the dealer’s local community. Requests are reviewed and awarded on a quarterly basis and must originate from the dealer principal.

Nonprofits interested in receiving a grant through Dealers Driving Communities Forward should contact their local Blue Bird Bus dealer.

In its inaugural year, Blue Bird supported organizations in New York, Minnesota, Indiana, Georgia, Wisconsin, and California.
