Clint Borgen is one of the leading figures in efforts to bring U.S. political attention to severe poverty. The president of The Borgen Project has quickly built the organization into a political force for humanitarian issues and mobilized people around the world to join in the strategic drive to hold political leaders accountable for poverty.

Borgen's introduction to relief work began as a 21-year-old volunteer in the Kosovo refugee camps during the Kosovo War and ethnic cleansing. In a region where 900,000 people were forced to flee for their lives and 10,000 people were systematically killed, Borgen realized how little effort is needed from U.S. leaders to improve life for thousands of people, but was deeply disappointed to realize how little is actually done.

The former firefighter went on to intern at the United Nations in Europe and after traveling extensively published Geneva Nights before graduating from college. With increasing visibility, Borgen was soon appearing as a foreign policy expert on radio talk shows throughout North America.

Bothered by the growing lack of attention from U.S. leadership on humanitarian issues, Borgen started developing an organization capable of generating political pressure. However, he was just out of college and needed startup funding, so the organization almost never came to be. In a last effort move that has become symbolic of the organization’s focused and ambitious persona, Borgen hopped a plane for the quick cash of Alaska's Bering Sea.

Living on a fishing vessel docked in the Aleutian Islands, Borgen developed and launched the organization from a make-shift office on the boat’s kitchen table. It was from this humble beginning in one of the most treacherous oceans on earth that The Borgen Project was born and grew into a global campaign aimed at getting poverty on the agenda of Congress and the White House.
