Statement by Frank Giustra

UPDATED STATEMENT FROM FRANK GIUSTRA ON AUGUST 25, 2016

Since we began our work in 2007, the Clinton Giustra Enterprise Partnership (CGEP) has impacted more than 600,000 lives in Latin America and the Caribbean, Asia, and Africa. CGEP is committed to continuing to help low income communities around the globe work themselves out of poverty through market-driven opportunities. If Secretary Clinton wins the election, we plan to spin CGEP into an independent entity to continue this important work, and maintain CGEP’s life-changing partnerships around the world.

The independent entity will be completely separate from the Clinton Foundation with independent governance and funding. CGEP also anticipates changing its name once the transition is complete. The new name and other details of the transition will be worked out post-election.

“The work that we have accomplished and lives we have changed through the Clinton Giustra Enterprise Partnership is what I consider my most important lifelong work. President Clinton and I believe it is important that we continue the work of alleviating poverty around the world, and I am committed to the future of CGEP in order to do so.”

When a donor gives money to a Canadian charity in confidence, and in the process provides his or her personal information, under Canadian law a fiduciary relationship is established between the Canadian charity and the donor concerning the use of private information that the donor has provided. To maintain the fiduciary relationship between Canadian donors and the Clinton Giustra Enterprise Partnership (Canada) with regard to disclosure of donor information, prior consent must be first obtained from each and every Clinton Giustra Enterprise Partnership (Canada) donor agreeing to disclose their donor information to any other person or organization.

By building our own businesses from scratch, using a market-driven approach working with large companies, with value-added support from an expert central team, we are able to eliminate many of the risks and barriers that prevent social businesses focused on economic development from being successful. Our experience as business builders across multiple countries allows us to replicate the model in new geographies to increase our impact.

Having built and invested start-up capital in our first round of agribusinesses, we are bringing to the impact investment market several profitable investment grade to early stage high impact investment opportunities. We also are working on the next stage of replicating agribusinesses in new geographies.
