1980, The Clorox Foundation has donated millions of dollars
to programs in two key areas: K-12 education and youth development, as well

foundation has awarded grants totaling $69.7 million to
nonprofit organizations and, in fiscal year 2007, donated
products, including supplies of bleach
and other products, to regions affected by natural disasters.

the company calls home.
