Since 1966, Camphill Foundation has provided more than $10 million in strategic grants and low-interest loans to Camphill communities, while stewarding an endowment that has grown to almost $10 million.
The Foundation is currently funding projects that align with the following strategic granting priorities:

Providing the “bricks and mortar” needed for growth and well-being of our communities and the quality of caregiving.
Coworker Development Grants

Capacity Building Grants
Increasing the effectiveness of Camphill Communities and the Camphill movement in North America by supporting strategic planning, leadership training, succession planning, and regional communication and activities.
International Grants
Supporting the Camphill movement across the globe through grants that support all three areas of support.
