The Campbell's Foundation Announces $1 Million in Community Impact Grants
Investment will fund food access, healthy living and neighborhood-strengthening activities for 50 nonprofits in 32 communities
The Campbell's Company (NASDAQ:CPB) and The Campbell's Foundation today announced $1 million in Community Impact Grants—the grant program's largest single-year annual investment—awarded to 50 nonprofit organizations working to improve lives in communities where Campbell's operates. The grants support the Foundation's three strategic focus areas: increasing food access, encouraging healthy living and strengthening neighborhoods.
This year, grants will support organizations in 32 communities where Campbell's has operations, with each recipient receiving $20,000 to support their operations and programming. This brings Campbell's fiscal 2026 total grantmaking to more than $2.9 million.
"Providing Community Impact Grants reflects the commitment our team members have to the communities where they live and work," said Kate Barrett, president of The Campbell's Foundation. "These grants reach the full footprint of our operations, fueling lasting change in the neighborhoods we call home."
Campbell's employees play a central role at every stage of the grant program, with 50 employees participating this year. Employees nominate local nonprofits to apply, initiating a review by the Foundation's employee-led, executive committee.
2026 grant recipients include 20 returning organizations and 13 first-time grantees, six of which are new applicants. Grant funding will support a variety of programs, including food pantries, nutrition education initiatives, community gardens and physical activity programs.
