Description
The Cannabis Program, administered by the Campbell Foundation, aims to foster the development of an equitable and environmentally responsible cannabis industry in California. Funding is directed toward partners and projects that support the implementation of Proposition 64, with a focus on technical assistance for cultivators, best practice outreach, research on industry impacts, policy guidance, and reducing illegal grow sites on public lands. The program also encourages collaboration between the cannabis industry and environmental advocacy groups to inform policy and promote compliance with state regulations. While the geographic focus is California (including statewide initiatives and specific northern counties), the program underscores a commitment to advancing both equity and sustainability in the cannabis sector.
