Obama needs to explain this.
Shocking new tax documents have revealed that Barack Obama’s foundation quietly funneled millions of dollars to a far-left organization tied to anti-Israel groups, college campus takeovers, and radical political activism—all under the guise of “community programs.”
$2 Million Redirected to Soros-Linked Network
Public filings show that $2 million in Obama Foundation funds were sent to the Tides Foundation in 2022 and 2023.
On paper, the money was marked as funding to “reduce violence in communities,” but watchdogs say it went much further than that.
The Tides Foundation, also heavily funded by Democratic mega-donor George Soros, is under intense scrutiny in Congress. The House Ways and Means Committee is investigating its role in supporting radical anti-Israel groups, including:
- Adalah Justice Project
- Samidoun
- The People’s Forum
These organizations helped coordinate pro-Palestinian protests and encampments at Ivy League universities after the October 7, 2023, Hamas terror attacks, which left 1,200 Israelis brutally murdered.
Past Financial Scandals and Mismanagement
The Tides Foundation has faced serious accusations of corruption before.
In 2024, Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation sued Tides, alleging the “egregious mismanagement” of more than $33 million in donations. That lawsuit is still making its way through California’s court system.
The Obama Foundation’s decision to send millions to such a controversial group has raised red flags among lawmakers and conservative watchdog groups.
Lavish Spending at Obama’s Presidential Center
While millions flow to outside organizations, the Obama Foundation has also been burning through cash on its own projects.
- In just two years, the foundation sent $3 million to GoFundMe.org, claiming it was to “empower girls through education.”
- Few details have been provided on how that money was actually used.
The biggest financial black hole, however, is the Obama Presidential Center in Chicago.
- Cost so far: Over $615 million — exceeding its original $500 million budget.
- Opening date: Delayed until spring 2026 after years of setbacks and overruns.
- Size: A sprawling 20-acre complex in Jackson Park on Chicago’s South Side.
Locals are furious about the massive project, which they say is destroying neighborhood culture and driving up housing costs.
“It’s a monstrosity,” said Ken Woodward, a lifelong resident and father of six.
“It’s taking too long, ruining the area, and pricing people out. It feels like they’re washing away the community that used to be here.”
Executive Salaries Skyrocket While Donations Lag
Even more shocking, tax records reveal the foundation spent over $27 million on salaries in 2022—despite raising just $129,320 in outside donations that same year.
Top Obama insiders are cashing in:
- Valerie Jarrett, former Obama adviser and current CEO of the foundation, earned over $750,000 in 2023.
- Robbin Cohen, vice president of the Obama Presidential Center, brought home nearly $650,000.
Meanwhile, Penny Pritzker, a billionaire philanthropist and sister of Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker, sits on the board but does not draw a salary.
Congressional Scrutiny Intensifies
The revelation of these payments comes as Congress ramps up its investigation into the Tides Foundation and its connection to extremist organizations.
With money flowing from Obama’s foundation to groups accused of staging anti-Israel protests, lawmakers are demanding answers about where the funds are really going—and whether taxpayer-backed privileges are being abused.
So far, Obama’s team has remained silent, refusing to answer media questions or comment on the controversy.
The Bigger Picture: Radical Politics Funded by Elites
For many conservatives, this scandal highlights a troubling pattern: Democratic elites funneling money into radical movements while publicly claiming to “uplift communities.”
From George Soros to Barack Obama, vast sums of money are quietly moving through shadowy networks that promote progressive causes and divisive identity politics.
Bottom Line
The Obama Foundation, once billed as a symbol of “hope and change,” is now facing serious allegations of financial mismanagement and political bias.
- Millions redirected to groups tied to anti-Israel protests and Hamas sympathizers.
- Massive cost overruns at the Chicago presidential center.
- Six-figure salaries for top Obama insiders while donations lag.
As Congress digs deeper, this controversy could become one of the biggest scandals of Obama’s post-presidency, raising serious questions about where the money is going—and why.
Why This Story Matters
- It exposes hidden financial networks fueling campus unrest and anti-American protests.
- It shows how progressive elites profit while local communities suffer.
- And it raises the stakes for 2026 and beyond, as voters demand accountability.
