As the Clinton Foundation did with all donations it received for Haiti, the entire amount of Algeria's contribution was distributed as aid. This donation was disclosed publicly on the Clinton Foundation website, however, the State Department should have also been formally informed. This was a one-time, specific donation for Haiti relief and Algeria had not donated to the Clinton Foundation before and has not since."
