"These organizations do extraordinary work in the United States and abroad, helping students, veterans and countless others in need," Obama said in a statement. "I'm proud to support their work."

The charities work on such issues as housing for veterans, college assistance and economic development in Africa and Central Asia. The Clinton-Bush Haiti Fund is a recipient.
