Miami Fort Lauderdale, FL, July 27, 2026 —
The Clinton Foundation has announced the establishment of the Clinton Policy Institute (CPI), a new initiative designed to assist state and local governments in addressing critical policy challenges.
The institute’s stated mission is to help these governmental bodies identify and implement nonpartisan solutions aimed at improving health outcomes, economic security, and the functioning of democracy. A primary focus for the CPI will be on issues affecting women and children.
According to the announcement, the Clinton Policy Institute has already commenced its work by convening leaders and experts in the relevant fields. This initiative builds upon previous work undertaken by the foundation, including a collaboration with New York state concerning the ban of cellphones in schools.
The specific details regarding the operational structure, funding, and the full scope of the institute’s planned projects were not immediately available. The announcement indicated that the CPI aims to provide a platform for collaborative problem-solving at the state and local levels, emphasizing a nonpartisan approach to policy development.
The focus on improving health outcomes, economic security, and democracy suggests a broad agenda that could encompass a range of public policy areas. The initial concentration on women and children indicates a targeted effort within these broader goals.
The mention of a prior collaboration with New York state on the cellphone ban in schools suggests that the CPI may leverage existing relationships and past project successes as a foundation for its future endeavors.
