The Organization
Now funding in the Chesapeake Bay watershed for 24 years, The Keith Campbell Foundation for the Environment was established to improve the conditions of America’s largest estuary system: the Chesapeake and Atlantic Coastal Bays. In October of 2003, Samantha opened the Foundation’s San Francisco office and in January of 2009, assumed the role of President of the Foundation.
The Campbell Foundation’s Pacific Initiative strives to identify opportunities in the field that are gaining political momentum, present a great opportunity to leverage resources of all kinds, and are innovative from a business and social perspective. The Initiative focuses on actions that advance water quality and other environmental outcomes while supporting economically and socially healthy communities. There is an evolving program of grants to organizations in the San Joaquin Valley that are working on implementation of the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA) and access to clean drinking water.
The Pacific portfolio also includes a Capacity Building Program, helping to drive the evolution and viability of our grantees, as well as the Unsolicited Grants Cycle, which is a high volume grants cycle that is open to grant proposals for any type of program in any geography.
