Campbell Soup Co. and The Campbell’s Foundation have announced $880,000 in Community Impact Grants to 44 nonprofit organizations positively impacting communities where Campbell operates.
The funding round includes the Food Bank of Puerto Rico, which received a $20,000 award.

These latest grants bring Campbell’s fiscal 2024 grantmaking total to more than $2.4 million. This year’s grantees include organizations in 30 Campbell communities from 16 states, Puerto Rico and Canada.
“The Campbell’s Foundation Community Impact Grants program empowers our employees to give back and support organizations making a meaningful impact in the communities we call home,” said Kate Barrett, president of The Campbell’s Foundation.
The annual grant process starts with Campbell employees nominating local organizations to apply for grants, choosing from hundreds of organizations that submit statements of interest.
