Following the 2010 Haiti earthquake and with Bill Clinton co-chair of the Interim Haiti Recovery Commission , Rodham and some partners proposed a $ 22 million deal to rebuild homes in the devastated nation , with funding to come from the Clinton Foundation . The deal never went forward and the Clinton Foundation said it was unaware of the proposal . In October 2013 , Rodham joined the advisory board of VCS Mining , a Delaware-based company that was planning a gold mine in the Cap-Haïtien Arrondissement area of Haiti . By 2015 the project had become controversial due to possible environmental effects and the level of foreign ownership ; for his part Rodham objected to any inference that he had gotten this position due to his family : " I 'm a very accomplished person in my own right . I raise money for a lot of people . That 's what I basically do . " On February 19 , 2016 he resigned as a board member from VCS Mining as part of a " restructuring plan " with no disagreement among the parties implied
