Bill Clinton's global foundation has released a list of its donors, with four individuals and groups contributing more than $25 million dollars each in the last year.

The biggest donors to the former president's private charitable organization were the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, Canadian mining magnate Frank Giustra, The Children's Investment Fund and the anti-AIDS group UNITAID.

The William J. Clinton Foundation posted the list of its 2009 donors on its Web site.

Among those giving between $10 million and $25 million were real estate developer and film producer Steve Bing, philanthropist Tom Golisano, the government of Norway and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Clinton's foundation focuses on issues such as health care, climate change and economic development.

When Hillary Clinton became secretary of state, the former president agreed to disclose his donors to the White House, according to the Associated Press. The Obama administration has the right to review whether there are potential conflicts with Hillary Clinton's work overseas.

Other groups that donated at least $1 million were the Elton John AIDS Foundation, Coca-Cola and the Eli & Edythe Broad Foundation

Our New Approach to Comments

In an effort to encourage the same level of civil dialogue among Politics Daily’s readers that we expect of our writers – a “civilogue,” to use the term coined by PD’s Jeffrey Weiss – we are requiring commenters to use their AOL or AIM screen names to submit a comment, and we are reading all comments before publishing them. Personal attacks (on writers, other readers, Nancy Pelosi, George W. Bush, or anyone at all) and comments that are not productive additions to the conversation will not be published, period, to make room for a discussion among those with ideas to kick around.
