Building on a lifetime of public service, President Clinton established the Clinton Foundation on the simple belief that everyone deserves a chance to succeed, everyone has a responsibility to act, and we all do better when we work together. For nearly two decades, those values have energized the work of the Foundation in overcoming complex challenges and improving the lives of people across the United States and around the world. President Clinton's first campaign for national office had a simple and unifying theme, “Putting People First.” We’ve been guided by this same set of principles ever since.
