Fair Money & Economic Opportunity

While Campbell provides community impact grants, such as $880,000 in April 2024

and over $9 million during the COVID-19 pandemic, and committed $1.5 million over three years to non-profits fighting racism, these are philanthropic contributions and not part of a loan or insurance book.
