In 2015, as The Clorox Company Foundation celebrates its 35th anniversary, we remain

committed to the lasting values of Clorox’s philanthropic approach. The Clorox Company Foundation is a central component of Clorox’s commitment to make everyday life better, every day. We continue to believe that we have an important role to play in helping to build healthy and vibrant communities. Through our foundation, we support innovative projects and programs focused on education and cultural arts that are designed to have a lasting and meaningful impact.

Through this report, I hope you will see why I — and 7,700 Clorox employees — continue to be so proud of the difference we make in our communi-ties and why we are excited about what The Clorox Company Foundation, Clorox employees and our

community partners will achieve in years to come.

Our HistoryFounded in 1980, The Clorox Company Foundation has awarded

cash grants totaling more than $99 million to nonprofit organizations, schools and colleges. Since its inception, the foundation has focused on supporting effective programs that benefit youth, K-12 education, and cultural and arts organizations. The founda-tion also supports organizations in the communities surrounding our offices and manufacturing facilities. In addition, in fiscal year 2015, The Clorox Company made product donations valued at $7.1 million.

Our Partnership with the East Bay Community FoundationSince 2002, we have partnered with the East Bay Community

Foundation (EBCF), and through their expertise in grant-making, donor support, education and economic development, we have significantly increased the impact of our giving. We have also sponsored EBCF seminars that help nonprofit organizations

identify opportunities to grow and be more sustainable.

EducationOur investments in education have a very real impact in our

communities. The Clorox Company Foundation supports programs that aim to address key issues on a larger scale and those that help young people develop the knowledge, skills and educational opportunities that prepare them for success. Our contributions have helped hundreds of nonprofit organizations increase opportunities and advancement for young people in our communities. Some of our longtime foundation partners include:

The East Oakland Youth Development Center, which serves more than 2,000 young people annually, offering everything from homework help to cooking classes, mentoring, college access and job preparation.

Girls Incorporated of Alameda County continues to inspire more than 7,000 girls to be strong, smart and bold through programs that build self-esteem, foster creativity and promote critical thinking skills.

Culture and the Arts We believe that culture and arts are critical components of

life and can contribute to positive and enduring social and cultural change in our communities. Cultural arts programs play an important role in providing education about the historical and cultural context of a community. We support cultural arts programs that embrace, preserve and enhance uniqueness. Our cultural arts nonprofit partners are committed to creating opportunities to celebrate cultures and creative expression. One of our longtime partners, Creative Growth Art Center, has played a significant role for more than four decades in increasing public interest and awareness in the artistic capabilities and achievements of people with disabilities. At Creative Growth, artists are taught to work with their own physical, emotional and developmental challenges to develop the skills to express their unique artistic vision.

Disaster ReliefWe are proud to help when disasters

strike. In times of disaster, we mobilize quickly to help impacted communities by donating products like Clorox® bleach, Clorox® cleaners and Glad® trash bags. Clorox® liquid bleach purifies water and disinfects hard surfaces. Bleach saves lives and, next to water, is the most requested item in times of disaster. From our response to tornadoes and flooding in New York, California, Illinois, Kentucky and Oklahoma in the U.S., to partnering with AmeriCares on the donation of 60,000 gallons of bleach to support the fight against Ebola in Sierra Leone and Liberia, The Clorox Company was there to help communities rebuild.

Disaster Relief Milestones 1989 In response to the Loma Prieta earthquake, $100,000 was donated to American Red Cross and Salvation Army.

1993 $140,000 in products, employee donations and matching grants donated to provide assistance with flooding in the Midwestern United States.

1994 $135,000 in product to American Red Cross and Second Harvest Food Bank in response to flooding in the Midwest, the firestorms in Southern California and the earthquake in Northridge, Calif.

1995 $100,000 in cash and products were dispersed to assist disaster relief efforts to aid in flood relief in Alabama, Florida, Georgia and Northern California; fire, earthquake and mud slide relief in Southern California; and emergency relief in Oklahoma City.

2001 $200,000 in employee and company contributions for 9/11 victims’ families, and $95,000 in products.

2005 In response to the devastation caused by a tsunami in South Asia, The Clorox Company Foundation gave $250,000 for immediate and longer-term relief efforts.

2005 To aid in immediate cleanup and longer-term relief efforts after Hurricane Katrina, the foundation gave $250,000 and $1.2 million in products.

2010 The Clorox Company Foundation donated $125,000 to the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) for the rebuilding of Haiti schools, most of which were destroyed during an earthquake earlier that year.

2010 The company awarded a cash grant of $30,000 and donated $25,000 in bleach to support relief efforts following the 8.8-magnitude earthquake that devastated Chile.

2011 One year after a devastating earthquake, Haiti experienced an outbreak of cholera. Clorox donated 12,600 gallons of Clorox bleach to Direct Relief International.

2012 Donated more than 55 truckloads of Clorox® regular bleach and cleaning products, with an approximate value of more than $700,000, to the American Red Cross and Feeding America to aid in recovery efforts following Hurricane Sandy.

Community InvolvementEMPLOYEE GIVING = TIME, MONEY, HOPE — Our employees generously give their time, money and hope to nonprofit organizations in their communities. Their contribu-tions have a significant positive impact and bring life to our company’s mission to make everyday life better, every day. We have a number of programs that support our employees’ contributions, enhancing their impact:

WORKPLACE GIVING GETTING INVOLVED FOR TOMORROW (GIFT) CAMPAIGN

• From January to August 2015, Clorox employees donated to more than 2,600 nonprofit organizations across the U.S. and Canada. As our program is year-round, and donations increase in November and December, we expect that number to increase exponentially.

VOLUNTEER PROGRAM SHARING TIME AND TALENT

• Our employees volunteered 122,250 hours in calendar year 2014 — valued at more than $2.82 million*— to causes that are meaningful to them.

• This year, the foundation donated $35,700 to organizations where our employees had volunteered their time.

FIELD GRANT PROGRAM BUILDING AND SUPPORTING HEALTHY COMMUNITIES

• We supported nearly 100 nonprofit organizations in Clorox communities throughout the U.S.

*The financial equivalent is determined using a rate of $23.07 per volunteer hour, which is based on the 2014 industry standard from Independent Sector, a leading nonprofit organization that determines the financial equivalent for a variety of volunteer initiatives. Less than 5 percent of these hours are from employees outside the U.S., but all hours are calculated using the U.S. rate. (http://www.independentsector.org/volunteer_time).
