Dear Reader:
For 18 years, the Clinton Foundation has worked to advance President Clinton’s
commitment to “Putting People First.” Every day, our programs strive to create
economic opportunity, improve public health, and inspire civic engagement and
service.
Our work began with the establishment of the Clinton Presidential Center in Little
Rock, and grew into programs to unlock economic opportunity in communities
across the U.S. and lower the cost of HIV/AIDS treatment around the globe. In the
years that followed, the Clinton Foundation became a pioneer in convening leaders
and building strategic partnerships to generate global philanthropic commitments that
have improved millions of lives.
In 2018, the Clinton Foundation continued this tradition of impact and innovation,
operating programs that are helping people around the world and expanding with new
projects and approaches to some of the most pressing challenges of our time. For
example:
 The Clinton Global Initiative launched the Action Network on Post-Disaster
Recovery, which helps communities in the Caribbean address hurricane
preparedness and recovery, and supports resiliency projects in the region;
 The Clinton Foundation’s Opioid Response Network started convening faith
leaders in Little Rock, Houston, and Jacksonville and creating processes to help
communities of faith reduce stigma and provide resources to people suffering
from substance use disorders; and
 Too Small to Fail, the Clinton Foundation’s early child literacy program,
launched and expanded campaigns in New Orleans and San Francisco, adding
to the dozens of communities nationwide where we reach parents and
caregivers to promote talking, reading, and singing to children to promote brain
development.

 Our 2018 Impact Magazine provides more details about our work last year, including
our farming and development programs in Africa and Latin America; our efforts to
fight climate change and develop scalable energy projects; the new classes of
Presidential Leadership Scholars and Clinton Global Initiative University; and work by
the Alliance for a Healthier Generation (an independent, related charity) to promote
healthy eating and exercise habits among children and young adults.
As an operating foundation, we rely on donations to make our work possible. One of
our top priorities is to be good stewards of our donors’ support, and we continue to
push each of our programs to expand impact while operating effectively and
efficiently. We also continue to receive high ratings from independent charity
evaluators.
We are steadfast in our commitment to the people and communities we serve in the
U.S. and around the world, and to continuing to address the urgent challenges ahead.
Sincerely,

Kevin Thurm
Chief Executive Officer
