Let's put that theory to a test:
http://www.insidephilanthropy.com/h...-does-the-clinton-foundation-actually-do.html
1. ...you’ll find that the biggest part of those expenses—57 percent—was for running the
Clinton Health Access Initiative, or CHAI. CHAI was started in 2002 to
focus on saving the “lives of people with HIV/AIDS in the developing world by dramatically scaling up antiretroviral treatment.” It has since expanded to address other health issues like malaria and maternal health, operating in some 35 countries. The Gates Foundation is CHAI’s biggest funder.
It gave it over $60 million last year alone.
2. Meanwhile, the Clinton Foundation directly runs various programs tackling other problems. The largest of these, dollar-wise, is the
Clinton Climate Initiative, which works to prevent deforestation, develop clean energy, and help island nations meet the climate challenge.
3. Continuing down the program list, we find the
Clinton Giustra Enterprise Partnership, which focuses on poverty alleviation by supporting “impact entrepreneurs” who are are creating “new enterprises to generate both social impact and financial returns” by addressing market gaps in developing countries.
4. The Clinton Foundation runs a bunch of other programs. I could keep going through them, but you can check out the
full list yourself. What you’ll find, by and large, are more activities of the sort that any other nonprofit might be undertaking. And, like other nonprofits, the Clinton Foundation is chasing after grant money from the
real foundations that have it, like Gates and Rockefeller, as well as foreign governments, most of which also donate to other major nonprofits.
So the executive summary after doing real research instead of just listening to right wing bullshit, is:
1. Helps poor AIDS patients worldwide.
2. Helps develop green technologies and helps the poor deal with Climate change issues.
3. Helps the poor by encouraging and funding entrepreneurial endeavors, worldwide.
Lion, once again, proven completely wrong.
