“For many of the issues that the Clinton Foundation works on … governments are often the largest funders of this work worldwide,” the group said in a statement accompanying its release of its 2014 tax filings and amended filings for prior years.

It adjusted filings from 2012, 2011, and 2010 to reveal the amount of revenue it derived from such governments, figures that had not been previously disclosed. In total, those filings revealed an additional $18 million in government grants.
