N:** The Campbell Foundation focuses nearly all its grant funding on environmental protection, aiming to preserve natural resources in the communities it serves. Established in 1998, it initially concentrated on improving the conditions of the Chesapeake and Atlantic Coastal Bays. In 2003, under Samantha Campbell's leadership, its geographical focus expanded to include Northern California and the San Francisco Bay watershed. The Foundation engages in enhancing water quality, ecological balance, and leveraging resources for sustainable economies, with a strong belief in strategic funding infusions. **
The Campbell Foundation offers grants through its Chesapeake and Pacific Initiatives, aimed at improving environmental conditions in specific regions. The Chesapeake Initiative focuses on speeding nutrient reduction in the Bay by fostering partnerships between agricultural and environmental stakeholders, enhancing leadership, and supporting grassroots advocacy for sensible future paths. It supports projects that are inclusive and aimed at consensus-based solutions to improve water quality and ecological balance. The Pacific Initiative targets projects that have political momentum, offer significant leverage opportunities, and are innovative from business and social perspectives, focusing on water quality, land-sea connections, and protection of special places in California. The Foundation runs two unsolicited grant cycles annually with a $50,000 budget each, offering grants up to $25,000 for a wide range of programs across various geographies.
