The Conservative Media Figures Who Donated To The Clinton Foundation-HRC Room [View all]

HILLARY CLINTON ROOM

ERIC HANANOKI


Media are falsely equating donations to the Clinton Foundation with contributions to a Democratic political campaign. That comparison ignores that the foundation is expressly nonpartisan, and numerous Republicans and conservative media figures have supported the foundation's work.

The Clinton Foundation states that it builds "partnerships between businesses, NGOs, governments, and individuals everywhere" on "improving global health, increasing opportunity for women and girls, reducing childhood obesity and preventable diseases, creating economic opportunity and growth, or helping communities address the effects of climate change."

The foundation is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization, which means it is "absolutely prohibited from directly or indirectly participating in, or intervening in, any political campaign on behalf of (or in opposition to) any candidate for elective public office."
