Is Hillary Clinton's charitable foundation hurting for cash? One may think so with the new donation scheme she announced this week in a fundraising email. Hubby Bill, Hillary says, will match each new donation dollar-for-dollar until December 31.

"We have big plans for 2014," the former Senator and Secretary of State insisted in a Monday email to supporters. The Washington Post notes that the Clintons have three new programs they are trying to fund for 2014. The three programs include the "Too Small to Fail" program, an effort intended to help parents prepare kids for school; "No Ceilings," meant to help women and girls achieve "full participation" in society; and programs to help youngsters learn job skills.

The email plea for cash was for the Bill, Hillary, & Chelsea Clinton Foundation--formerly named the Clinton Foundation. The Clintons hope to raise upwards of $250 million to keep their charity organization afloat into the future.
