*TALKING POINTS: The Clinton Foundation*

*ATTACK:  *Republican operatives and pundits have tried this month to
invite increased media scrutiny into foreign contributions to the Clinton
Foundation.

*THE FACTS: *

-       The Bill, Hillary, and Chelsea Clinton Foundation is a
philanthropic organization that funds programs to help people throughout
this great nation and all over the world.  Here are just a few examples of
the life-changing programs funded by the Clinton Foundation:

o   Job One: helps young people find jobs.

o   Too Small To Fail: helps improve the health and well-being of children
ages zero to five.

o   No Ceilings: helps encourage the full participation for women and girls
in the 21st century.

o   Clinton Health Access Initiative: works to expand access to HIV/AIDS
medications throughout the world.

-       The Clinton Foundation is a global philanthropy.  As with other
charities, it receives donations from around the world because it is
working to improve the lives of millions.

-       The world is a better place because of philanthropic programs like
those of the Clinton Foundation.

-       The Clinton Foundation goes above and beyond requirements to ensure
transparency in contributions.

o   The reason that reporters know about Clinton Foundation donors is
because the Foundation *voluntarily discloses all their donor names*, on
their website, for anyone to see.

o   The Clinton Foundation refuses to take anonymous donations.

o   No charity is required to do this but the Clinton Foundation does it on
its own accord.

-       The Clinton Foundation has stated that should Hillary Clinton run
for office, it will continue to ensure the Foundation's policies and
practices regarding support from international partners are appropriate,
just as it did when she served as Secretary of State.
