The Clinton Foundation is a nonpartisan organization founded by President Bill Clinton. Since 2001, the Foundation has transformed philanthropy through programs that develop leaders and accelerate solutions to the world’s most pressing challenges.
Under the leadership of President Clinton, Secretary Clinton, and Chelsea Clinton, our unique approach prioritizes solutions over ideology — bringing people together in the spirit of collaboration and pragmatic problem-solving.
In an increasingly complex, divisive, and interconnected world, we strive to help fill the gaps between what the public sector can provide and what the private sector can produce.
ROLLING UP OUR SLEEVES AND GETTING THINGS DONE, TOGETHER: Convening diverse partners across sectors and continents is a practical strategy for problem- solving — a lesson this family has demonstrated in public service, diplomacy, and through our programs.
It’s about bringing together the right people for any problem, those who can get something done and contribute to an effort greater than the sum of its parts.
That’s how the Clinton Foundation has been able to convene people and organizations who do not traditionally work together and rally them to solve the most complex challenges of our time.
FOCUSING ON EVERYDAY CHALLENGES THAT IMPACT PEOPLE’S LIVES: We are uniquely positioned to leverage partnerships, relationships, and expertise to quickly and effectively mobilize resources at a moment’s notice while setting up dedicated communities committed to long-term recovery and sustainability.
From polluting cook stoves, expensive AIDS drugs, sugary soda in schools, book deserts, disaster response, and so much more — we take on the hardest fights, develop transformative solutions, and consistently focus on what can be done to make people’s lives better.
PREPARING FUTURE LEADERS WITH A PROVEN PLAYBOOK: The challenges of tomorrow will require leaders who feel a profound responsibility to take action, today.
Our programs channel the Clinton family’s lifetime of leadership into a roadmap — preparing future generations with proven approaches for bringing people together and solving problems.
Through unique educational and mentorship opportunities, we engage people of all ages, perspectives, and means to make change in their communities and the world.

The CGI 2024 Annual Meeting is focused on “What’s Working” in efforts to tackle climate resilience, global health equity, gun violence, the protection of journalists, humanitarian crises, and other pressing global challenges.
Some of the Topics included at the CGI 2024: Investing in Africa’s Next Generation to Promote Economic Progress Across the Continent, Preserving Our Planet through Sustainable Land Management, Resilient Futures: Health in the Face of Climate Change, Health Equity and Economic Inclusion for Aging Populations.
The work of advancing social impact can be a lonely endeavor. Resource constraints, accelerating global challenges, and politicized news cycles all have made our commitment to make a positive difference in the world harder to Realize.
While the work can feel lonely, you don’t have to do it alone. Whether it’s a formal partnership between organizations or informal support networks, finding and forging value-aligned connections can help sustain and fuel us as we face even the most difficult challenges.
Since CGI’s inception in 2005, more than 10,000 organizations have partnered on more than 4,000 Commitments to Action impacting more than 500 million people – a testament to the power of partnership and an example of a different way to build a community around a shared vision for a better future. As the world continues to fracture across geographic, political, and economic lines, there is greater urgency than ever to find creative ways to partner to reach shared objectives.
In this Mainstage Session, leaders from across the social impact spectrum will highlight the ways in which they break down barriers between peer institutions, cultivate partnerships and community, and align values and programs to create new, specific, and measurable ways to support one another.
Participants included: Bill Clinton, Founder and Board Chair, Clinton Foundation & 42nd President of the United States, Hillary Clinton, 67th Secretary of State of the United States, Chelsea Clinton, Vice Chair, Clinton Foundation, Jill Biden, First Lady of the United States, Yael Admi, Co-Founder, Women Wage Peace, Reem Al-Hajajra, Director, Women of the Sun, Nazanin Ash, CEO, Welcome.US, Leymah Gbowee, Nobel Peace Laureate, Activist, President and Founder, Gbowee Peace Foundation Africa, Valerie Montgomery Rice, President and CEO, Morehouse School of Medicine, Josh Shapiro, Governor of Pennsylvania and Brad Smith, Vice Chair and President, Microsoft.
