The Clinton Foundation Haiti Fund

Since the January 2010 earthquake, the Clinton Foundation has been turning the donations of money and supplies made by individuals and organizations into direct assistance for the people and government of Haiti. More than 100,000 individuals donated more than $16 million to the Clinton Foundation Haiti Fund.

In the weeks after the earthquake, the Foundation spent nearly $2 million to directly purchase relief supplies and spent more than $1.7 million to deliver and distribute in Haiti goods donated by other organizations, including heavy equipment, solar flashlights and lanterns, and clothing. The Foundation has also issued $5.3 million in grants to 16 organizations, including $1 million for operational support of the Interim Haiti Recovery Commission. The Foundation has directly allocated more than $2.5 million to long-term projects, including training for community health workers to prevent cholera.

In total, the Foundation has allocated more than $12 million of the Haiti Fund to relief and recovery efforts, and facilitated the delivery of and an additional $16 million dollars worth of goods donated by other organizations — making the combined value of assistance to Haiti approximately $23 million. The Foundation also provides pro bono staffing, administration, and fundraising support for all of President Clinton’s Haiti relief and recovery efforts.
