About The Clinton Foundation

The William J. Clinton Foundation focuses on worldwide issues that demand urgent action, solutions, and measurable results -- global climate change, HIV/AIDS in the developing world, childhood obesity and economic opportunity in the United States, and economic development in Africa and Latin America.

After he left the White House, President Clinton wanted the Clinton Foundation to focus on the areas where he could make the most difference as a private citizen. The Foundation has grown into a global 501(c)(3) nongovernmental organization with 1,100 staff and volunteers in more than 40 countries and with offices in New York City, Little Rock, Ark., Boston, Mass., and other cities around the world. The Foundation, working in collaboration with governments and other partners, makes a significant impact in the lives of hundreds of millions of people around the world through its seven initiatives:


Mission

The mission of the William J. Clinton Foundation is to strengthen the capacity of people in the United States and throughout the world to meet the challenges of global interdependence. To advance this mission, the Clinton Foundation has developed programs and partnerships in the following areas:

  • Health Security
  • Economic Empowerment
  • Leadership Development and Citizen Service
  • Racial, Ethnic and Religious Reconciliation


Grant Policy

Unlike many other foundations, the Clinton Foundation generally does not make grants to outside organizations. The Clinton Foundation directs its financial resources to its own programs, both domestically and throughout the world. This commitment to the Foundation’s programs means that while President Clinton recognizes and supports an array of humanitarian causes, the Foundation does not redistribute its resources to provide grants for outside projects.

If you are interested in seeking a donation, we strongly encourage you to research and contact one of the many international philanthropic organizations that provide grants for private and public use.
