Millions of dollars sent to Barack Obama’s foundation has ended up being donated to a progressive fund that supported anti-Israel groups, accused of setting up encampments at Ivy League universities, according to public documents.
Donations to the Obama Foundation, set up by the former president to build a 19-acre campus including a museum, athletic facility and fruit and vegetable gardens in Chicago, totaling $2 million were instead sent on to Tides Foundation in 2022 and 2023, according to its latest available federal tax filings.
The cash was earmarked to “support local organizations that are working to reduce violence in communities,” according to the nonprofit’s filings.
Tides Foundation — also funded by Democratic mega-donor George Soros — is a network that operates as a fiscal sponsor for groups that have not registered with the IRS as charities.
The third-party grant-making group is under scrutiny by the House Ways and Means Committee for handling donations for anti-Israel groups such as the Adalah Justice Project, Samidoun and the People’s Forum. Such groups helped set up pro-Palestinian demonstrations and college encampments after the October 7, 2023, Hamas attacks on Israel that left 1,200 Israelis dead.
After this story was published Friday, a spokeswoman for the Obama Foundation told The Post that the $2 million was granted to more than 50 organizations across the country to help reduce “surging summer violence” and provide “safe spaces” for young people.

It must be a gay bar with parking in the rear.
Yup. And in the time USAID was spewing money for Lefty causes, DEMOCRAT Samantha Power was making all happen. She was involved in Obama's administration, so nothing in this is less that Democrat Party corruption "without a smidgen of corruption."
The rage on the Left comes in part because income streams they'd thought theirs are no longer theirs. Nothing hurts like hitting them in the wallet.
That mausoleum will never be finished or visited and they know it.
The Kenyan needs to be investigated.
It DOES look like a GUARD TOWER!! BRUTALISM Architecture is TOTALLY UGLY!!!!
The new USAID
There just seems to be no end to the Democratic Party’s corruption and Obama’s goal: “We are five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America.”
They must be waiting until the last minute to put the minaret on top.
