Local law firm launches funding for non-profits
Law firm Campbells BVI has launched a new Charity Funding Panel aimed at supporting non-profit and charitable organisations working in youth development, education and community wellbeing across the Virgin Islands.
Under the initiative, eligible non-profit organisations can apply for funding and, if shortlisted, will be invited to present their proposals to a panel on Wednesday, March 4, 2026. Funding will be allocated following the presentations and a question-and-answer session.
Managing Partner and Head of Litigation at Campbells BVI, Grant Carroll, said the initiative reflects the firm’s commitment to supporting projects that create lasting benefits for the community.
“The Charity Funding Panel reflects Campbells’ commitment to supporting organisations that address critical community needs and deliver measurable, long-term impact,” Carroll said. “Funding decisions will be based on factors including alignment with our focus areas, demonstrated impact and the effective use of funds.”
Applications are now open to registered non-profit organisations operating within the identified focus areas. The deadline for submissions is Monday, February 23, 2026.
Campbells BVI said the programme is intended to support initiatives that show clear community benefit, sustainable impact and strong alignment with the firm’s charitable priorities.
Further information and application details are available on the firm’s website.

Do they themselves hire locals?
Do you hire anybody? How many people do you employ?
As per the reply to my comment on a previous article, law firms apparently feel no need to follow the law, when it comes to hiring locals.
Good idea – well done.
In fact let me go further, in what other country is it really a thing where the General Legal Council (or equivalent body) is dominated by non-Citizens. It happens right here! Yet, the minute Virgin Islanders ask for their right to be the first preference in employment to be respected its a huge problem.
How many BI Islanders actually study commercial law? From what I see, the majority study business and prefer to work in trust companies rather than be lawyers.
The General Legal Council is for the regulation of legal practitioners and the administration of Legal Professions Act. Whether or not Virgin Islanders have studied commercial law, which many have, is an irrelevant factor.
Excellent initiative!
These darn comments… Every darn thing is a fight. why we just can’t all get along?????
We often complain these firms arent doing enough to contribute to the community. I hope other follow the example. Good job Campbells BVI.
