CGI 2024

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.

ROLLING UP OUR SLEEVES AND GETTING THINGS DONE, TOGETHER: Convening diverse partners across sectors and continents is a practical strategy for problem- solving — a lesson this family has demonstrated in public service, diplomacy, and through our programs.

It’s about bringing together the right people for any problem, those who can get something done and contribute to an effort greater than the sum of its parts.

That’s how the Clinton Foundation has been able to convene people and organizations who do not traditionally work together and rally them to solve the most complex challenges of our time.

The work of advancing social impact can be a lonely endeavor. Resource constraints, accelerating global challenges, and politicized news cycles all have made our commitment to make a positive difference in the world harder to Realize.
