What Is The Clinton Foundation?
The Clinton Foundation is an international charitable organization Chelsea Clinton is a part of.
“Since 2001, the Clinton Foundation has transformed philanthropy through programs that develop leaders and accelerate solutions to the world’s most pressing challenges," the website reads about their mission.
"Under the leadership of President Clinton, Secretary Clinton, and Chelsea Clinton," the description adds, "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.”
The Clinton Foundation's Haiti Controversy
The Clinton Foundation came under scrutiny for their assistance in the 2010 Haiti earthquake.
When an earthquake struck Haiti in 2010, the Clinton Foundation came under scrutiny for their efforts to help.
While the Clinton Bush Haiti Fund raised over $54 million, there has been scrutiny regarding the transparency of the funds' distribution, and as a result, the foundation faced accusations of misappropriating funds.
On their website, they debunked those claims, writing, “The Washington Post and the former AP correspondent in Haiti have both examined claims that the Foundation stole money from Haiti and found them to be baseless. Additionally, the Foundation continues to support the country through the CGI Haiti Action Network – which has generated 130 commitments in action that are worth more than $500 million.”
