Appears that the Clinton's are a charity unto themselves.

FUNNIEST CHART O’ THE DAY: Breakdown of Where Bill and Hillary Clinton’s “Charitable” Donations Went

According to their tax returns, it turns out that essentially all of the Clinton family’s “charitable donations” were directed back to their own “charities”.

Why Do Some Governments Run Donor Money through the Clinton Foundation?

  The assistant editor of the Wall Street Journal’s editorial page, James Freeman, raises an interesting question about the Clinton Foundation and its ongoing solicitation and receipt of donations from foreign governments: Why do the governments of Germany, Canada, Australia, Norway, the United Kingdom, and the Netherlands need to run some of their international humanitarian relief to and through the Clinton Foundation?

“Are the unsophisticated rubes in the donor governments, which include the world’s 4th and 5th largest economies, incapable of distributing aid without paying the Clintons to manage it?” Freeman asks.
 

  the question for the Clinton Foundation and its sovereign governmental donors is much like that faced by charitable and domestic donors here—why not work through established bodies and make them better instead of creating parallel structures to bypass them and, often in consequence, make them weaker? 

IMO, it may be as simple as POLITICAL INFLUENCE.

Thanks, mrclose.

  Hillary Clinton's non-profit spent more on office supplies and rent than it did on charitable grants

"the Clinton Foundation spent nearly $8.5 million–10 percent of all 2013 expenditures–on travel."
