Background
|
|
|
Philosophy/Focus

The foundation's
key priorities are nutrition and health and improving the quality of life
in their host communities.
|
|
|
Major Fields of
Interest
|
Health care; health organizations; nutrition; youth, services;
minorities/immigrants; community development; voluntarism promotion.
Diet and Health Program: Because diet and good health are critical
to the well-being of society, the foundation places its highest priority
upon advancement of the linkage between diet and health. Priorities
include application of nutrition/biomedical research relating diet to the
alleviation, prevention, and/or understanding of chronic diseases;
development of continuing nutrition education programs for schools and the
public; and symposia/seminars/workshops that focus on and highlight new
relationships between diet and health.
Quality of Life in Plant Communities Program: The foundation has
been concerned about people in the
"communities where Campbell has a significant presence." Complementing
corporate "safety net" support for federated campaigns and local community
service activities, the foundation invests in the future with grants to
effect structural change. That can mean economic development projects,
affordable housing ventures, a sense of direction for teenagers, and
minority access to higher education.
