The foundation is based in the former British colony of Ireland.

Soros has been criticized for funneling money to left-leaning political causes in the past, but in recent years has been expanding his political giving into more charitable endeavors.

Last year, the Soros Foundation pledged $50 million to support the work of Oxfam in Africa.

In 2017, the Clinton Foundation gave $50,000 to the Center for Climate and Energy Solutions, a think tank that supports climate change denial and climate change deniers.
