Deadline: 01-Oct-20
Applicants are now invited to apply for the J. Bulow Campbell Foundation’s 2020 Grant program.
The Foundation is selective in grant decisions and prefers to provide support for a smaller number of significant, carefully planned projects rather than to award large numbers of smaller grants. Almost all grants are conditioned on the organization completing funding for a project or campaign goal with other gifts and pledges.
In consideration of requests by educational institutions, priority is given to those which are privately-supported and accredited, and special consideration is given to Christian-based institutions emphasizing Christian life on campus as well as the intellectual performance of students.
The Foundation precludes personal appearances by applicants before the board, and trustees should not be contacted personally concerning a proposal or anticipated approach to the Foundation. Interviews, by phone or in person, with the staff are readily granted, and applicants are encouraged to correspond or confer with the Foundation’s staff before submitting a formal grant proposal.
Eligibility Criteria
- The Foundation responds to a variety of charitable organizations serving the general welfare of the community, education, youth, Christian concerns, and, to a limited extent, public spaces and cultural organizations.
- Grants are awarded almost exclusively in Atlanta and Georgia. While organizations in Alabama, Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee are technically eligible to receive grants, the Foundation has provided only limited support outside Georgia, and it does not award grants outside the six-state region.
- The Foundation takes interest in projects that benefit the development and preservation of the Christian faith but does not accept requests from individual church congregations.
- The Foundation considers grants only to institutions determined by the Internal Revenue Service to be tax-exempt and classified by the IRS as “not a private foundation.” No grants or loans of any kind are made to individuals.
- Priority is given to non-government, privately supported institutions, and to agencies and organizations that have programs of acknowledged or potential excellence and give evidence or promise of regional leadership.
- The Foundation gives the highest priority to capital funding rather than providing support for current operating expenses or recurring programs.
Grants are not awarded for the following purposes:
- Annual operating support.
- Individuals, including financial aid or for education.
- Loans.
- Festivals, special events, or conferences.
- Films or documentaries.
- Start-up funding or seed money.
- Individual church congregations.
