This web site provides background information on the Ira W. DeCamp Foundation. The DeCamp Foundation was established in 1970 by Elizabeth DeCamp McInery in memory of her late husband Ira W. DeCamp.
Over the past 20 years, the DeCamp Foundation's grantmaking has supported a wide array of organizations within three major program areas: health, social services and education. Grants have been concentrated in the New York metropolitan area.
