President Bill Clinton - The Clinton Foundation - Charting Our Path Forward

Charting Our Path Forward

In 2016, despite the political season and unprecedented attacks that were misleading or outright false, the Clinton Foundation continued its good work in the United States and around the world. I am very grateful to our staff, leadership, and Board, and to our donors both large and small, new and longstanding, for keeping our focus on how we can solve problems and seize opportunities to improve more lives.

I started the Foundation with strongly held beliefs: everyone counts, everyone deserves a chance, everyone has a role to play, and we all do better when we work together. The attacks on our efforts have not come from people and organizations who understand or care about the work we do. By contrast, those who do understand have a very different view of what we do and how we do it. The three main charity review groups, which take a detailed look at governance, financial health, transparency, and accountability, have given us high ratings: Charity Navigator: Four Stars; CharityWatch: A; and GuideStar: Platinum. The Foundation’s work has also been praised by the Chronicle of Philanthropy and Inside Philanthropy.

Let’s look at what happened in 2016, and then I want to say a word about the future.
