	The '''William J. Clinton Foundation''' is a nonprofit corporation established in October 1997, soon after [[Bill Clinton]] chose the Little Rock [[River Market District]] as the site of his presidential library. The Foundation is dedicated to preserving the legacy of President Clinton, his record of presidential leadership, as well as several ongoing initiatives. Other projects of the Foundation involve "responding to challenges of the global neighborhood; responding to the challenge of September 11; promoting reconciliation and cooperation among the world's ethnic, racial, and religious groups; promoting economic empowerment through opportunity and responsibility; and supporting a new generation of leaders."

 The Foundation began privately campaigning for the construction of the [[William J. Clinton Presidential Center]] on June 28, 1999, at La Grenouille French restaurant on Manhattan's East Side. There the president personally addressed almost forty fashion house leaders about his plans for the Library. According to federal law the President is not allowed to directly solicit funds for the project. The host of the dinner at La Grenouille was [[Arnold Simon]], CEO of Aris Industries.
-The pricetag for Clinton's presidential library - to be built at an estimated cost of up to $200 million - worried many prominent Democratic fundraisers. Large early pledges to the Clinton Foundation are said to have been offered by Hollywood producers [[Steven Spielberg]] and [[David Geffen]], and supermarket executive [[Ronald W. Burkle]]. In its first public tax return in 1998 the Foundation disclosed donations of $3 million. The Foundation had collected $9.9 million in donations by 2001. In the end more than 112,000 people made donations to defray the $165 million in actual construction costs for the presidential center complex.

 According to the [[Presidential Libraries Act of 1986]] the regular operation of the Clinton Library must be supported by endowment funds. In 2004 the Clinton Foundation turned over a privately-raised endowment of $7.2 million. The Foundation continues to control about half of the square footage of the Clinton Presidential Center, including a cafeteria, meeting rooms, a private fourth floor [[Clinton Library apartment]], and the [[Clinton Library gift shop]].

 The Little Rock offices of the Foundation houses the administrative and accounting divisions, runs the [[Clinton Museum Store]], and develops programming for the [[Clinton Presidential Center]]. As his wife [[Hillary Clinton]] is a U.S. Senator from New York, Bill Clinton spends the majority of his time doing Foundation work and creating policy from his office in Harlem. The [[Clinton Global Initiative]] (CGI) operates out of this office. In addition to offices in Little Rock and Harlem, the Foundation occupies space in Quincy, Massachusetts. Quincy is home to the Foundation's Clinton HIV-AIDS Initiative.
