The Maclellan Foundation is called to glorify God by leveraging the legacy, resources, relationships, and experience entrusted to us to serve those advancing Christ’s Kingdom around the globe.

Incorporated in 1945 by Robert J. Maclellan, his sister Dora Maclellan Brown, and his son Robert L. Maclellan, The Maclellan Foundation, Inc. is the largest and oldest of the Maclellan Family Foundations. The foundation is focused on establishing and strengthening the local church, promoting discipleship and leadership development, sparking community transformation, promoting the power of prayer, advocating for generosity, and increasing access to Scripture. The foundation provides financial and leadership resources to faith-based ministries, helping to foster biblical Christian values in the community by meeting practical and spiritual needs.

In addition to focusing on excellence in all that we do, we will be intentional about how we do it.

We are church-centric. We seek collaboration. We aim to honor God through excellence, integrity and prayer. We strive for measured, transformational impact.
