The Clinton Family Foundation makes targeted, mid-sized grants that emphasize education, global leadership and health, with a preference for general operating support. Their giving includes family-directed philanthropy (a large grant to the Bill, Hillary & Chelsea Clinton Foundation) alongside support for higher education, scholarships, women’s leadership and global development organizations. The portfolio also includes arts education and public health/health workforce organizations, suggesting a mix of civic, cultural and international priorities.
A $177,478 grant to the Bill Hillary & Chelsea Clinton Foundation stands out in The Clinton Family Foundation’s recent giving and points to a portfolio that blends family-directed support with targeted grants to education, leadership, health, and arts groups. The foundation’s 2023–2024 grants also include $50,000 awards to The Africa Center, Vital Voices Global Partnership, Americans for Oxford Inc, Dolores Huerta Foundation, Wellesley College, and The George Washington University, showing a mix of international, women’s leadership, and higher-education priorities. Smaller awards continue that pattern at the program level, with support for scholarship funds, public health organizations, and performing-arts institutions. The grant list suggests a funder that favors named institutions and affiliates rather than broad issue campaigns, and that often uses general operating support. Its recent portfolio also reaches into Westchester and nearby New York communities through local nonprofits and civic organizations. Across the sample, the foundation gives in a relatively concentrated way, with repeat support for some groups and a clear preference for mid-sized grants alongside a few larger commitments.
Higher education and scholarship support appear throughout the portfolio. The foundation gave $50,000 to Wellesley College and $25,000 to American Trust for Oxford University, then followed with smaller scholarship-oriented grants such as $10,000 to Cj Morgan Memorial Scholarship Fund and $10,000 to Ron Brown Scholar Fund. In women’s leadership and global development, The Africa Center received $50,000 and Vital Voices Global Partnership received $50,000, pairing an international lens with leadership-focused institutions. Public health is another visible thread: Partners in Health received $10,000, Alliance for a Healthier Generation received $10,000, and the American Nurses Foundation received $10,000. Arts education also shows up through $35,000 to School of American Ballet and $2,500 to Dance Theatre of Harlem Inc, indicating continued support for performing-arts training and access.
The typical grant size is modest to mid-sized: p25 is $1,000, the median is $5,000, and p75 is $35,000. The recent record shows both one-off gifts and repeat support, including multiple awards to School of American Ballet Inc, Cj Morgan Memorial Scholarship Fund, Partners in Health, and Making Headway Foundation Inc across 2023 and 2024. The foundation appears to operate as a family foundation rather than a program-grantmaking institution, and it does not fund individuals or make program-related investments. Grants in the sample are all listed as general support.
