The Obama Foundation saw its largest donations so far this year come from repeat contributors who pledged to give even more money toward the organization’s vision, records show.
The Crown Family, which owns a stake of the Chicago Bulls, real estate mogul and gay rights activist Mel Heifetz, and the Ford Foundation have made large million-dollar contributions before but agreed to repeat donations of more than $1 million each.
The Obama Foundation reported one new donor of more than $1 million: Iger Bay Foundation, which is affiliated with the Disney family.
The Obama Foundation was also given more than $250,000 from the Glenview-based Illinois Tool Works Inc., a manufacturer of industrial products and equipment.
So far, 47 donors have supported the foundation by giving $1 million or more. About 49 donors have given between $10,000 and $100,000. But the largest group of donations are for less than $10,000 each.

These people have so much money to piddle away on nonsense.
Maybe they should consider charging less for their products.
The funding will help pay for the Obama Presidential Center in Jackson Park, which is scheduled to break ground this year. Some of the donations also pay for the foundation’s programming and events, officials said.

Ford foundation- Noted
Easier to get the same fools to part with their money again than to find new fools.
Money Laundering
Has it been given the go ahead?
Obama Presidential Center faces pushback from Jackson Park residents

Socialism has failed as an "experiment" every single time it has been tried.
You CANNOT fix retarded.
The Obamas need lessons from Hill and Bill. Pikers.
There are so many wonderful different ways to say "Marxists"
Someone should (or probably already has) compiled a list of euphemisms. Can add this. I imagine we'll be seeing it on college applications soon and then Presidential candidate resumes in 10 years when 'Community Activist/Organizer' has fallen out of fashion and beneath the shine all that's visible is "Corrupt Hack and Marxist."
The Sasquatch and Malaria Hog Trough Foundation?
one foundation giving money to another foundation, I wonder what is up with that......................
“The Obama Foundation was also given more than $250,000 from the Glenview-based Illinois Tool Works Inc., a manufacturer of industrial products and equipment. “
I can see why they contributed since American manufacturing did so well under Obama. (sarc)
.........I hope these 47 donors become household names so that whatever legal bad stuff can happen to them does. Obama is tantamount to an enemy of this country.
They make Jane Fonda look like a Girl Scout and we did a fair job of ostracizing that bitch.
Another Clinton Initiative style ‘charity’ scam.
This time to enrich the Obamas.
Bill and Hillary should franchise the operation.
dnc must be upset. Those millions of dollars would have paid off most of their current deficit.
As Corrupt as the Clintons and will be around for decades
We’ve an abundance of fools in the USA
WTP sat quietly as congress and judiciary, Clergy, Military virtually ignored our Constitution by allowing a non NBC into the OO. The lot catered to him, bowed down to him giving carte blanche to anything the little black heart desired. They said NOTHING! Did NOTHING!
This should cause every red blooded American to turn red with rage that they felt US to be so dim witted and ignorant. Not complete in their ineptitude, the crew egged us on calling us conspiracy believers throwing in our face the fact BO’B was born in Hawaii not ever mentioning that BO’B was the son of only one AMERICAN CITIZEN PARENT listed on his birth certificate.
This, alone, shows exactly what sort of persons we elected to govern us. We have failed in our responsibility just as they have failed to do their job.
The elites in all shapes and sizes wanted BO’B - WTP had no voice on anything that truly mattered to this Nation nor to US.
That is common. It makes it harder for a forensic accountant to trace money. Criminal frauds many times.
