The husband of the top Democratic presidential candidate is continuing to seek donations to his family foundation. Bill Clinton, husband to Hillary Clinton, sent an email to supporters last night to ask for money.
“I want to let you in on the secret to our Foundation’s success, friends,” Clinton writes. “It’s you.”
We started working nearly 15 years ago with 14 employees and a big idea. Now, because so many people like you have chosen to join us, we’re overcoming problems once said to be “too big” and “too hard.” Don’t slow down now. The challenges in front of us – like changing the futures of families stuck in poverty and helping communities deal with climate change – require that we stick together. We’ve got to be relentless. Today is Giving Tuesday, a day for us to come together and showcase the power of working together. That’s why Chelsea and I are extending an opportunity we hope you’ll take advantage of: Our family will match every gift, up to $200,000, dollar for dollar to help more people build better lives for their families. Kick us off by giving before midnight: Make a tax-deductible donation on Giving Tuesday to improve and save lives around the world. We’ll double your gift, up to $200,000, dollar for dollar when you contribute today.
The former president and perhaps future first man calls his foundation work “rewarding.” He writes:
My work with the Clinton Foundation has been one of the most rewarding endeavors of my life. Every day I see how, with your support, we can change lives. It’s your support that makes it possible to empower a little boy in Tanzania to grow up and change his community; that helps provide a woman in Colombia with an opportunity to build a life that changes her family’s fortunes for generations; that makes certain girls and young women, here and around the world, close their eyes and see that no dream is beyond their grasp. We have to keep it up.
