Description
The Water Management program of the Keith Campbell Foundation for the Environment funds initiatives that promote fair, collaborative, and inclusive water resource management in California. The program is particularly focused on ensuring that vulnerable and marginalized groups—including community members and small-scale farmers—have a voice in policymaking and access to clean, affordable water. Grants support efforts to rebalance water supply across basins, drive open stakeholder dialogue, and develop equitable water policies. While the primary geographic focus is California’s Central Valley, projects in other regions may be considered.
