About Campbell Foundation
A repeated support pattern stands out in The Campbell Foundation’s recent giving: the Lawrenceville School received $75,000 in 2023 and another $75,000 in 2024, both listed as general support. That kind of recurring award appears alongside gifts for youth mentoring, faith-linked children’s programs, and civic or philanthropic organizations, showing a portfolio built around a small set of recurring relationships rather than many one-off awards.
The Campbell Foundation’s recent grants also include $36,534 to Friends of the Children- Los Angeles for general support and $29,549 to The Children's Course for general support. Those gifts sit within a broader mix that includes independent secondary school support, long-term mentoring for youth in high-need communities, faith-based children’s programming, and organizational support for nonprofits that are already in its orbit. The foundation also shows a willingness to back groups beyond Oregon, with recent awards reaching New Jersey, California, New York, Washington, and Pennsylvania.
Across the recent list, grant purposes are usually broad rather than narrowly project-tied. General support is the dominant form, and the foundation appears comfortable funding institutions, service organizations, and networks that can use flexible dollars for operating needs or program delivery.
What Campbell Foundation Funds
Youth mentoring is one clear thread in The Campbell Foundation’s giving. In 2023, it gave $36,534 to Friends of the Children- Los Angeles for general support, and it also supported Friends of the Children-klamath with $25,000 in 2023 and Friends of the Children-swwa with $11,234 in 2025.
Faith-linked children’s services appear as another recurring area. Faithful Friends received $16,000 in 2023, $26,535 in 2024, and $25,000 in 2025, all for general support. Door of Hope also received multiple awards, including $12,500 in 2024 and $10,000 in 2025.
Education is represented through school-related giving. The Lawrenceville School received two $75,000 general-support grants across 2023 and 2024, and Ainsworth Elementary School received $10,558 in 2024. The foundation also supported The Children's Course with $29,549 in 2023, indicating attention to youth-serving institutions beyond formal school settings.
How Campbell Foundation Gives
Typical grant size is modest but varied: the 25th percentile is $537, the median is $2,800, and the 75th percentile is $10,140. The recent grant list includes both small and mid-five-figure awards, with a few larger grants above $50,000.
The Campbell Foundation shows repeat support for selected recipients across years rather than purely one-time funding. The Lawrenceville School, Faithful Friends, Door of Hope, Friends of the Children- Los Angeles, Alex's Lemonade Stand, Circle of Friends, and other organizations appear more than once in the recent record. The foundation is a regular funder and makes grants to organizations rather than individuals, while also listing capacity-building, unsolicited, and program-area grant programs in its active portfolio.
