Welcome to the Claneil Foundation

Claneil Foundation, Inc., is a private foundation incorporated in 1968 under the laws of the state of Delaware. The Claneil Foundation works to create healthy communities by supporting nonprofit activities that fall within the following focus areas:

• Hunger & Nutrition/Food System:  To eliminate hunger; increase access to, and consumption of, nutritious food; and to advance reforms in the food system.
• Health and Human Services: To ensure that children, youth, families and adults have the support they need to grow and thrive.
• Education: To prepare youth (pre-k through undergraduate) for academic success and/or employment.
• Environment: To improve the quality of water and land and to raise the awareness of the value and importance of such resources.

Our geographic focus areas include Chester, Delaware, Montgomery and Philadelphia counties. Organizations outside these counties may only apply for a grant if invited by a member of the Foundation's Board of Directors.
