Former President Bill Clinton addresses members of the 2006 Global Philanthropy Forum in Washington, DC. The Power of Philanthropy encourages ordinary citizens to acknowledge America’s interdependence on other nations, establish integrated communities, and do their part to make the world a better place.

 
The speech highlights the necessity to “build a world with more partners and fewer enemies” and stresses the resilience of integrated communities fueled by shared opportunities, shared responsibilities, and a shared sense of belonging.

The Global Philanthropy Forum
The Global Philanthropy Forum serves to inspire, inform, and expand the international philanthropic community by matching individual grantmakers to vehicles for overseas giving, assisting foundations and governmental donor agencies in finding partners in global philanthropy, and by highlighting international issues of concern.

The Global Philanthropy Forum’s participants are established and emerging philanthropists and social investors who seek fresh approaches to problem-solving through strategic international giving and investing to advance individual opportunity and improve quality of life.
