The $25 billion international network of foundations started by George Soros is shuttering offices around the world as it prepares to cut more than 40% of its staff.
Employees of the Open Society Foundations’ Africa operations received correspondence last week detailing the next steps of the process, which includes closing half a dozen offices on the continent in addition to its Baltimore and Barcelona locations, according to a copy of the emails seen by Bloomberg.
“I’m very sorry that it’s turned out this way,” Wanyeki wrote to staff in an email seen by Bloomberg. “It’s obviously not what any of us expected and I’m also very sorry that I didn’t have the information on this earlier,” she added, saying the changes aren’t what leadership “committed to two years ago.”
The Barcelona and Baltimore closures were announced earlier this year and the Africa offices “have been in varying stages of transition to close or merge into one regional entity” since 2021, an OSF spokesperson said in an email. Many of the satellite offices are set to close by the end of 2023, the spokesperson added.
The emails to staff come after Inside Philanthropy reported in July that OSF had removed more than a dozen offices across Africa and Asia from a list on its website.
This seems significant. And great news!
This has the feel of Trump Executive Orders seizing assets and starving them out.
This might not actually be a Trump thing - maybe it is Xi. Remember China has been moving in on Africa with their Belt and Road initiative.
Minimizing "donations" through Ukraine may have something to do with it perhaps?
Very...and....Very!
Did Jr ballsack get caught with his pants down by Trump? ("We caught them, we caught them ALL.")
Closed Society Foundation, formerly known as Open. X'ed.
Great news!
Did the the Patriots cut off his funding? Isn't he one side of the triangle, this would huge if they took him out.
Dude is old as hell. They are just re branding so the next puppet can take over the family business
So you are telling me you dont believe in the Plan. Because I see an inexorable march towards the pedo death cults destruction. The clues abound and this is just one more.
The 10 people that upvoted you should be ashamed of themselves.
You don’t think there is moves and counter moves? Don’t be so emotional. You talk like the cabal will just fold and give up.
MI^ Puppet Soros going down, CIA and Mossad were in it all together. The fake billionaire they created to be the cover story for Soros pulls coup in Ukraine. LOL Soros was always a soy. Its no longer a secret . Everybody knows Soros were these agencies little Biatch they used for plausible deniability. Games over scumbags. your s=destiny is suicide or military tribunals and like most of Hiltler's liitle Biatches you cowards will choose suicide. Just like Hitler's chicken farmer Himmler from the big bad azz SS. Hell awaits all your azzes.
Well said fren.
We tell it like it is.
You have nailed it once again LakotaPride! o7
Thank you, but I give all the credit to God and Jesus . In prayer I always ask God to guide my steps and share his wisdom with me. Here is your proof that prayers work because it sure did not come from me.
AMEN! Prayer works! 🙏
Amen, time for us to all stand up and pray up .
I suspect MI6 , CIA and Mossad are sad to hear this. It means their crap is all about to be exposed as being Satanic enemies of God and all his children. Those agencies all need to be on trial for their fraud and crimes against humanity.
They never go away... This is just optics...
They're not going away. They said so in the article. They're just closing a few branches.
Boo Hoo. Cry me a river!!
Sticky for more research Anons. We should see what else of Sorass’s businesses are going down! Yes guys, I’d like him to expire soon. Kek!
He and his evil sons are probably going the AI route.
Seinfeld popcorn meme: Gee, that's a shame. <Munch, munch!>
Could be starting a new phase of their operation?
More likely funding to pay these people/locations to do nothing profitable dried up
Hope they move to Gaza.....

Barcelona and Baltimore geographically have nothing to do with each other or do they?
Major cities turned into leftist shitholes.
Well, there’s that.
lived in Baltimore during its 80s charm city days. I left in the mid-90s because it was going so drastically downhill even then. I can’t even imagine visiting much less living in the shithole it is now. it’s such a shame, because it’s an absolutely beautiful city with so much character, different neighborhoods with history, etc.
This is good news, especially seeing the part about the Baltimore office closing. I live in Maryland and it is California east, so lets see if this does anything to the money his organization would flood into an area to get the Commies elected. I hope it does start to dwindle all the money to those types of people. I can't say, and don't know why this is happening at this time, but this is a good thing-if anyone asks me.
It goes to show that it's all been done on purpose. Like everyone said it would be. Completely on purpose,
Stay close my friends .... we're almost there.
nope, this cockroach is simply going back into his hole only to produce more evil people to take up his mantle. He's just reorganizing his empire because too much light is being cast upon it right now. Wait and watch...his kids will come out swinging.

No more checks to antifa, BLM?
Maybe they have completed this step in their plan? No need to spend anymore money on this phase?
Odd timing, no?
I’m curious what these people are gonna tell us about their activities, especially bribery, arc.
Although …, I think that most of those in the know (where the bodies are burried) are within the 60% that will keep their jobs.

The $25 billion international network of foundations started by George Soros is shuttering offices around the world as it prepares to cut more than 40% of its staff.
Employees of the Open Society Foundations’ Africa operations received correspondence last week detailing the next steps of the process, which includes closing half a dozen offices on the continent in addition to its Baltimore and Barcelona locations, according to a copy of the emails seen by Bloomberg.
“With the decision by the board in June to cut the staff by more than 40%, our staffing size and footprint by necessity needs to diminish,” Binaifer Nowrojee, OSF’s vice president of programs, said in one of the emails. “We no longer have the bandwidth to operate multiple small offices, and thus the decision to further reduce our locations.”
The hedge fund titan’s charity doles out more than $1 billion in grants annually, including over $100 million in Africa. The locations where OSF will no longer have staff include Addis Ababa, Ethiopia; Kampala, Uganda; Cape Town; Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of the Congo; Abuja, Nigeria; and Freetown, Sierra Leone, according to an email from Africa Executive Director Muthoni Wanyeki. Offices in Nairobi, Kenya; Dakar, Senegal; and Johannesburg will remain open.
“I’m very sorry that it’s turned out this way,” Wanyeki wrote to staff in an email seen by Bloomberg. “It’s obviously not what any of us expected and I’m also very sorry that I didn’t have the information on this earlier,” she added, saying the changes aren’t what leadership “committed to two years ago.”
The Barcelona and Baltimore closures were announced earlier this year and the Africa offices “have been in varying stages of transition to close or merge into one regional entity” since 2021, an OSF spokesperson said in an email.

Official Successor
OSF is now in the hands of Soros’ 37-year-old son Alex, who became the organization’s chairman in December 2022 and was announced as official successor to his father in June.
The nonprofit is going through restructuring for the second time in three years in an attempt to make it more “nimble,” according to a September interview with Mark Malloch-Brown, the foundations’ president. After the changes, OSF will have fewer than 500 people on payroll, compared with almost 1,700 in 2021.

Part of the restructuring plan involves shifting priorities from due diligence before grants are made to a bigger focus on the impact the gifts have, which will require a smaller staff, Malloch-Brown said.
“The huge bureaucratic process preceded the grant and then it was much lighter thereafter,” he said in a September interview. “We’re reversing that balance.”
Staffing reductions will hit hardest those who do active work like grant making, according to two people with knowledge of the matter. Programming staff outside the US is being cut to about 150 people from 450, the people said, asking not to be identified because they weren’t authorized to speak. US programming will remain in place until after next year’s presidential election, one of the people said.
Opportunity Model
An OSF spokesperson declined to comment on specific numbers until labor “negotiations are completed.”
The charity, which operates on five continents, will also use a new “opportunity” model of operations, though which opportunities they’ll focus on is unclear. Employees affected by the cuts in Africa are invited to apply to roles “within their jurisdiction,” according to the email from Nowrojee. “You would be expected to move and would also be responsible for your own relocation,” Wanyeki wrote.
In August, OSF sent grantees a note saying it “will largely terminate funding within the European Union, and further funding will be extremely limited.”
At a conference in Austria later that month, Alex Soros challenged reports that this represented a scaling back of the nonprofit’s work on the continent.
“It’s news to me that OSF is leaving Europe,” he said. “It was reported in various outlets that that’s the case but we’re simply changing our strategy.”
A few days later, a Politico editorial he wrote was published with the title “No Soros retreat from Europe.”

no, ...I'm sorry it turned out this way
a Tribunal of local citizens in every district where these were placed needs to hear testimony and make a referral for prosecution.
Maybe his son decided he wants to spend it all having fun instead of on "philanthropy".
