In the toughest of times, people and communities show their true character in the ways they come together to help one another. In 2010, we could not help but admire and appreciate the resilience and strength of the many community groups and organizations that, despite ever shrinking resources, worked undeterred to better the lives of the people they serve.  It was even more inspiring to see how those who benefited would unselfishly “pay it forward” by doing a good turn for someone else in need.  The James & Abigail Campbell Family Foundation is proud to be a partner in their good works, and express our gratitude to them for all that they do.

In 2010, we were delighted to do our part through our targeted giving to youth, education, and Hawaiian programs, with preference to communities in West O‘ahu. We allocated $300,000 in grants, and another $220,000 in multi-year grants, totaling $520,000 for the year. We gave grants to programs aimed at giving at-risk youth a new lease on their future. We supported educational programs, which recognize that there are different ways to learn. We assisted organizations in their efforts to build and sustain healthy communities. And we continued our support of the Campbell family-sponsored cultural programs aimed at cultivating and expanding the practice of Hawaiian culture and arts.

We are ever mindful of the debt of gratitude we owe to our many contributors – family members and supporters – whose generosity makes it possible for the Foundation to carry on the work we do in the name of James and Abigail Campbell. To you we express our warmest thanks: Mahalo i ke Kahiau.
