President Clinton championed a new kind of disaster recovery that enabled the communities of South Asia to “build back better” after the tsunami. This model has also been used in relief and recovery in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina and is now underway in Haiti as President Clinton works to help coordinate relief efforts and assist Haitians in rebuilding their country.
Building on a lifetime of public service, President Bill Clinton established the William J. Clinton Foundation to bring people together to take on the biggest challenges of the 21st century. Throughout the Foundation’s history and growth, Secretary Clinton and Chelsea offered their voice, vision, and counsel. To recognize their past contributions and acknowledge their role in shaping the Foundation’s future, the Foundation was renamed the Bill, Hillary & Chelsea Clinton Foundation.
Over the past 11 years, the Foundation has built innovative partnerships among governments, businesses, NGOs, and private citizens to strengthen health systems in developing countries, fight climate change, expand economic opportunity in Africa, Latin America, and the United States, and help Americans live healthier lives. Additionally, Clinton Global Initiative members have made nearly 2,300 Commitments to Action to improve more than 400 million lives in more than 180 countries. Today the Foundation remains committed to addressing inequalities and delivering tangible results that improve people’s lives all over the world.
The Clinton Foundation is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization
