Program Description:

The Campbell Foundation was established as a nonprofit private foundation in 1986 by the late Richard Campbell Zahn. It was Mr. Zahn's wish that his foundation support other nonprofit organizations conducting clinical research into the prevention and treatment of HIV/AIDS, and related conditions and illnesses. The focus of the Campbell Foundation's funding lies in alternative, nontraditional avenues of research. Our Board of Directors remains dedicated to pursuing Mr. Zahn's original goals. 1995 was the Foundation's first year of substantial funding.
