 Clinton, the current favorite to become the Democratic nominee,
has said the foundation's charity work is a source of pride, but it
has also drawn growing criticism from political opponents and parts
of the U.S. media.
Foreigners are not allowed to give money directly to presidential
election campaigns, and Clinton's critics say foreign governments
and entrepreneurs may instead be donating to her family's charities
to curry her favor.
The foundation's board of directors also voted to publish the names
of new donors more frequently - four times a year, instead of
annually - according to the foundation's statement. Clinton stepped
down from the board on Sunday. Her husband, former President Bill
Clinton, and their daughter, Chelsea Clinton, remain members.
"While it's common for global charities to receive international
support, it's rare to find an organization as transparent as the
Clinton Foundation," Craig Minassian, a foundation spokesman, said
in a statement.
 In order to become secretary of state in 2009, Clinton and her
husband signed a similar transparency agreement with Barack Obama's
incoming presidential administration in order to defuse questions
about conflicts of interest.
But officials at the Clinton's charities told Reuters last month
that key parts of the agreement were broken a year into her
four-year tenure. No complete list of donors to Clinton charities
has been published since 2010, and new donations from foreign
governments were never submitted to the State Department for an
ethics review.
The charities said this was the result of oversights. A Clinton
spokesman has declined since last month to answer inquiries about
when Clinton learned of the breach and how she responded.

Minassian and a spokesman for Clinton declined to say whether they
were handling the transparency measures announced on Wednesday any
differently to previous ones in order to prevent another breach.
The foundation said it will still accept funding from Australia,
Canada, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway and the United Kingdom,
which fund the foundation's work around the world on climate change
and economic development.
The board of the Clinton Health Access Initiative, a larger charity
associated with the foundation, is still finalizing new transparency
measures.
After an event in Morocco in May, the Clinton Global Initiative, a
part of the foundation, will stop accepting funds from foreign
governments except for what the foundation's statement referred to
as "meeting attendance fees."
