Building on a lifetime of public service, President Clinton established the Clinton Foundation on the simple belief that everyone deserves a chance to succeed, everyone has a responsibility to act, and we all do better when we work together. For nearly two decades, those values have energized the work of the Foundation in overcoming complex challenges and improving the lives of people across the United States and around the world. As an operating foundation, we work on issues directly or with strategic partners from the business, government, and nonprofit sectors to create economic opportunity, improve public health, and inspire civic engagement and service. Our programs are designed to make a real difference today while serving as proven models for tomorrow. The goal of every effort is to use available resources to get better results faster – at the lowest possible cost. We firmly believe that when diverse groups of people bring resources together in the spirit of true cooperation, transformative ideas will emerge to drive life-changing action.

Established in 2005 by President Bill Clinton, the Clinton Global Initiative convenes actors across sectors to inspire action on today’s most challenging problems. CGI has evolved over the years, remaining flexible in order to meet the needs currently faced by communities around the globe. Our model continues to drive ideas into action with a focus on disaster response, recovery and resilience. Since its launch, over 3,400 Commitments to Action have helped to improve the lives of over 430 million people in more than 180 countries.
