Overview

Mission

The mission of the campion fund is to support fundamental research in reproductive science by conducting scientific meetings for scientists and the interested public, by awarding scientists with small funds to enhance their research development and to promote reproductive science to the public through educational blogs.

What it reported doing in 2025

We conducted five science cafes for the public on reproductive science. In a series of four cafes at a local church. We presented a session on: how scientists think and analyze published research: how scientists conduct clinical and translational research using studies on uterine fibroids: what happens to young scientists at the start of their careers: the importance of basic science using the genome project as an example and stressing multicentered research. The campion fund published 12 newsletters that were distributed on online subscribers. In 2025 we posted 12 educational blogs on our website. Three of these blogs have been indexed in scientific databases. Finally, we contributed financially to the mammalian reproduction gordon conference in 2025. The conference will be held in the summer of 2026.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and program spending has grown recently. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
