A recent report from the Capital Research Center raises serious questions about the financial activities of George Soros’s Open Society Foundations (OSF). According to the findings released in September 2025, OSF has provided over $80 million since 2016 to various organizations that have connections to terrorism or extremist violence. This report categorizes those organizations into groups that support domestic terrorism, incite foreign-linked terrorism, and actively promote violent activities.
One striking detail is the reported $18 million funding to the Movement for Black Lives, an organization that co-authored a guide endorsing the Hamas attacks on October 7, 2023. This guide allegedly instructs activists on illegal actions, including economic disruptions and blockades. According to the report, OSF’s financial backing appears imprudent, especially when considering the group’s controversial stances.
The Sunrise Movement, which received $2 million in grants from OSF, has also raised eyebrows. The organization endorsed the Stop Cop City campaign, which connects directly to Antifa and has seen activists face serious charges related to arson and violence against law enforcement. Funding a group that could promote acts of violence against police raises significant ethical and safety concerns.
Notably, OSF donated $2.35 million to Al-Haq, identified in the report as a front for the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP). This connection is alarming, as the PFLP is a designated terrorist organization. Furthermore, OSF’s contributions extend to Democracy for the Arab World Now (DAWN), which received $875,000. The report alleges that some of DAWN’s co-founders have celebrated Hamas attacks and have associations with the Muslim Brotherhood, all contributing to the narrative of promoting harmful ideologies.
In direct response to the report’s allegations, Open Society Foundations issued a statement asserting that they “unequivocally condemn terrorism” and do not finance it. The organization characterized the accusations as politically motivated attempts to undermine civil society and silence dissenting voices. While this assertion aims to defend OSF’s reputation, critics remain skeptical, given the connections outlined in the report.
Such revelations spark a necessary discourse on the boundaries of charitable funding and the implications it has on domestic and international safety. This report presents a critical look at how organizations can influence political movements and public safety through strategic funding… It urges readers to consider the deeper implications of where money is directed.
