I want to do calculations on systems with photoinduced electron transfer, and I've read that the Coloumb Attenuating Method is a modification of the functionals that makes calculations including long-range electron transfer more accurate. Unfortunately I can't seem to find CAM in Gaussian. Is there some other software I should look at?

7$\begingroup$ CAM-B3LYP is implemented in Gaussian. Please look again. $\endgroup$ – pH13 - Yet another Philipp Jan 29 '16 at 15:25

8$\begingroup$ CAM-B3LYP is also implemented in ORCA (free, but for non-commercial use only). $\endgroup$ – hBy2Py Jan 29 '16 at 15:34

2$\begingroup$ It seems I have an old version of the Gaussview program I use to generate my input files. I will just have to write the input file manually instead. $\endgroup$ – nordmarj Jan 29 '16 at 15:53

CAM-B3LYP is present in Gaussian, Q-Chem, GAMESS, NWChem, ORCA, DALTON, DIRAC, and perhaps other major software packages, either as cam-b3lyp or camb3lyp, however keywords are entered.
Notably it isn't available in TURBOMOLE as of version 7.1.

2$\begingroup$ It should be noted, that no DFT calculation is good without calibration. $\endgroup$ – Martin - マーチン♦ Jan 29 '16 at 15:58

2$\begingroup$ Of course. Additionally, there are better long-range-corrected functionals than CAM-B3LYP (at least in theory), but that's a topic for another thread. $\endgroup$ – pentavalentcarbon Jan 29 '16 at 16:07

Not all of QM program use adirect keyword of functional. Some of them you've to mix an ingredient of % functional, says in NWCHem. In that, you aint use keyword 'cam-b3lyp' directly, you need the combination of keywords like
xc xcamb88 1.00 lyp 0.81 vwn_5 0.19 hfexch 1.00
cam 0.33 cam_alpha 0.19 cam_beta 0.46
