Why Economic Opportunity
During his Administration, President Clinton provided leadership that created a stronger American economy and more opportunity for its people. His Presidency saw historic job growth, rising incomes, more small business creation, and private sector investment in traditionally underserved communities. Amid today’s economic downturn, too many people struggle to make ends meet, too many entrepreneurs struggle to grow their businesses, and too many communities are being left behind.
The American Dream – earning a good living, raising a family in comfort, retiring with dignity, and giving future generations the opportunity to have better lives – is no longer a reality for many people, families, and communities in the United States.
How the Foundation Makes a Difference
The Clinton Foundation is building on President Clinton’s long-term commitment to economic advancement. CEO is working with mayors, governors, and business and community leaders across the country to help spark and accelerate change by helping people get, stay, and succeed in the financial mainstream. It is also advancing business-to-business public service in communities across the United States by connecting entrepreneurs to the support, ideas, and tools that can help them compete and succeed in the marketplace.
