Description
The Campbell Foundation’s Water Management program funds organizations working to ensure clean, accessible, and affordable water across California’s Central Valley. The program emphasizes collaboration among diverse stakeholders—including community members and small-scale farmers—to develop equitable water management policies. Priority is given to projects that promote inclusive policymaking, address the needs of vulnerable and marginalized communities, and rebalance water supply within and across basins. The Foundation seeks to support efforts that foster open dialogue and drive systemic change in water access and management.
