The McLean Foundation empowers communities in the Eel River Valley and Humboldt County by providing funding, leadership and support.
The McLean Foundation grant program targets broad charitable endeavors across several key sectors: health, conservation, welfare, the arts, general aid, and education. The foundation prioritizes supporting initiatives and organizations that align with its historical interests and values, particularly those that reflect the McLeans' dedication to improving social welfare, advancing education, conserving the environment, and nurturing the arts. The grants aim to continue the philanthropic legacy of the McLean family by funding projects and organizations committed to making a tangible impact in these areas. Grant applications and Letters of Inquiry must be submitted online, reflecting the Foundation's modern, accessible approach to philanthropy.
