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.
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.
