The Clinton Global Initiative, a non-partisan project of the William J. Clinton Foundation, is a catalyst for action, bringing together a community of global leaders to devise and implement innovative solutions to some of the world's most pressing challenges.
In 2005, President Clinton launched the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) to help our world move beyond the current state of globalization to a more integrated global community of shared benefits, responsibilities, and values. By gathering global leaders from a variety of backgrounds, CGI creates a unique opportunity to channel the capacities of individuals and organizations to realize change.

A non-partisan project of the William J. Clinton Foundation, CGI brings together a community of global leaders to devise and implement innovative solutions to some of the world's most pressing challenges. CGI has approximately 1,000 members, diverse and influential leaders from all over the world, who make tangible commitments to create or support projects within CGI's areas of focus.

At the center of CGI is our annual meeting, held in New York each September coinciding with the U.N. General Assembly. This is a working session designed to provide insights into global problems for the purpose of enabling productive action.

Unlike most charitable endeavors, CGI neither gives grants nor collects direct donations to carry out programs. Instead it serves as a dynamic marketplace, matching up people who have resources with others who have organizational capabilities to produce high-impact results in the field. CGI staff work with participants in advance of, during, and after each annual meeting to define, develop, and track the progress of commitments.

Over the past two years nearly 600 commitments have been made by CGI members, totaling nearly $10 billion and benefiting the work of more than 1,000 organizations.
