Bushrod H. Campbell and Adah F. Hall Charity Fund

Bushrod Campbell and Adah Hall established the Bushrod H. Campbell and Adah F. Hall Charity Fund in 1956 in order to make charitable contributions to organizations they cared about. Mr. Campbell and Miss Hall were life-long friends and colleagues, first working with Mr. Campbell’s father who started the Personal Book Shop on Newbury Street, and then building a chain of more than twenty book stores and lending libraries that reached from Boston to Cape Cod. Eventually their work shifted from retail to wholesale under the company name Campbell and Hall, Inc. Upon their deaths, both Miss Hall and Mr. Campbell left their fortunes to the Fund. Grants from the Fund’s inaugural year in 1956 totaled $500; now the Fund awards more than $1 million in grants annually.

Hemenway & Barnes LLP provides administrative oversight of The Bushrod H. Campbell and Adah F. Hall Charity Fund. A foundation administrator from Hemenway & Barnes' philanthropic advisory services provides support to the trustees and manages the grant application and distribution process. The Trustees of the Fund, with responsibility for fiduciary and programmatic oversight are Arthur B. Page and Nancy B. Gardiner from Hemenway & Barnes, as well as serve as their fellow trustee George Beal.
