The mission of the Harry Chapin Foundation is to support organizations that have demonstrated their ability to dramatically improve the lives and livelihood of people by helping them to become self-sufficient.

We will fund only 501(c)(3) not for profit programs that operate in the United States that fall within the areas of:

Arts-In-Education Programs
Community Education Programs
Agricultural and Environmental Programs

Please note: We are not the Harry Chapin Food Bank. That is a separate nonprofit organization. Please contact Long Island Cares if you are interested in learning more about the food bank.
