Bushrod H. Campbell and Adah F. Hall Charity Fund
OVERVIEW: Campbell and Hall Charity Fund supports organizations based in the U.S. that address reproductive health on an international scale and the needs of Boston, Massachusetts on a local scale.
IP TAKE: This is a modest, but accessible funder appears receptive to exploring worthy international reproductive health programs around the world. It’s also approachable, just keep in mind that it’s small, so expect a delay in responses. The fund limits its international grantmaking to reproductive health; however, all of its U.S.-based giving centers on Greater Boston.
PROFILE: Based in Boston, Massachusetts, the Campbell and Hall Charity Fund supports education, reproductive health, social justice, and economic opportunity. The Campbell and Hall Charity Fund does not maintain its own web presence, and it is administered by Hemenway & Barnes. As a result, the lack of information makes it challenging to locate information about its grantmaking.
Grants for Reproductive Health and Global Development
The Bushrod H. Campbell and Adah F. Hall Charity Fund’s grants for global development focus on the reproductive health of women and girls around the world. That said, reproductive health grants concentrate both in Greater Boston and are also awarded to U.S.-based nonprofit organizations that work internationally.
In the past, the fund has supported organizations like Planned Parenthood in the U.S., which indicates that the fund seeks similar international reproductive health projects.
Grants for Boston
Beyond additional support for reproductive health and rights, the fund also makes grants for the elderly; education for underserved youth; and social services for vulnerable populations. Grantmaking in these areas stay close to home rather than go abroad.
