President Clinton had a vision when he left office: to establish a foundation dedicated to implementing sustainable long-term solutions to some of the world’s biggest challenges. By fostering partnerships with governments, businesses, nongovernmental organizations, and individuals, the Clinton Foundation has been able to build lasting systems that have changed millions of lives for the better.

The work of the Clinton Foundation, however, would not be possible without the generous support of our partners and our donors. For that, you have our sincerest thanks.

With your help, the Clinton Foundation has helped turned the tide on childhood obesity in the United States and ensured that nearly 4 million people have access to lifesaving HIV/AIDS treatment. Through the Clinton Global Initiative we have redefined the way we think about giving and philanthropy.

In 2010 alone, we expanded more programs, welcomed more donors, worked with more partners, and touched more lives than ever before. With the support of more than 100,000 generous donors we provided more than 16,000 cataract surgeries in underserved communities in Peru, created healthier learning environments in more than 12,000 U.S. schools, and helped 4,300 smallholder farmers build sustainable agroforestry businesses that enable them to support their families and reverse deforestation. In the wake of the devastating earthquake in Haiti, the Clinton Foundation has helped provide approximately $28 million worth of assistance to support relief and recovery efforts and to help Haiti build back better and stronger.

Because we know that you expect your donations to the Clinton Foundation to be put to the best possible use, we are proud that 94 percent of every dollar donated goes directly to our programs and that the Clinton Foundation has earned the highest possible four-star rating from Charity Navigator, an independent evaluator of nonprofit organizations.

Under President Clinton’s leadership, and together with your support, the Clinton Foundation has become one of the fastest growing and most effective nongovernmental organizations in the world, taking advantage of our global interdependence to convene the right people — and the right resources — to make a measurable, meaningful, and sustainable difference in millions of lives and communities around the world.

We hope that you are proud of what we have accomplished together and that you will continue to work with us going forward to build a better world.

Sincerely,

Bruce Lindsey
Chief Executive Officer
